The Blood

Everything changed, it’s getting harder to recognize
The person I was before I encountered Christ
I don’t walk like I used to
I don’t talk like I used to
I’ve been washed from the inside
I’ve been washed from the inside out

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood

I cannot explain but nothing’s more real than this
In the presence of God, oh what my heart experienced
When my shame hit the wayside
And my sin met the Most High
I was washed from the inside
I was washed from the inside out

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Could have only been Your blood

Oh, so let it wash over
Let it wash over me, yeah, yeah

It’s never been about performance, perfection
Or striving for acceptance
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
It’s never been about deserving or earning
It’s a gift that’s freely given
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood

Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
Purified and spotless
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
Justified, really living
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood

Only been

What can I say, thank You is not enough
Jesus Your grace, Your mercy poured out for us
I will love You forever, here on earth into heaven
I’ve been washed from the inside
I’ve been washed from the inside out

Hmm
I’ve been washed from the inside out

How precious, how generous
Your blood poured out for us
How precious, how generous
We remember
You paid it in full
You paid it in blood
You paid it for us, Jesus
