The Blood (Studio Version)

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

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

Verse 3

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
