The Blood

Oh, 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood, could've only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood, could've 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've been washed from the inside, I've been washed from the inside

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood, could've only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood, could've only been the blood

It's never been about performance or 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've only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood, could've only been the blood

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
