The Blood

Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

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

Bridge

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

Refrain

It could have only been the blood that made me clean
Could have only been the blood that set me free
Glory, hallelujah, I have been redeemed
It's only by the the blood
