What brought forgiveness to me
What washed me so completely
What made me worthy in Your eyes yeah
What power broke the chains of sin
And gave me hope again
What raised my dying soul to life
It was the blood
It was the blood
The blood You shed for me
It was the blood
It was the blood
The blood You shed for me
Lord  I was powerless to
Defend myself before You
I could not plead my case alone
When justice called for everything
What sacrifice could bring
Freedom for my captive soul
It was the blood
It was the blood
The blood You shed for me
It was the blood
It was the blood
The blood You shed for me
Mercy  sweet mercy
Covers my soul
Over and over
Forever will flow
It was the blood
Precious blood
Nothin' but the blood of Jesus
Oh still the blood
Yea  still the blood
It's still the blood
It's still the blood
The blood You shed for me
It was the blood
It was the blood
The blood You shed for me
