"The Blood" lyrics

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 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've been washed from the inside
I've been washed from the inside

Oh 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Thank You, thank You, Jesus
Thank You, thank You, Father
Come on, it's never been

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

Oh does anybody want to be holy and 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

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

Now all that's left to do is praise
Oh because of Your blood
All I have left to say is "Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord"

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Halle—, hallelujah (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
I know it was the blood
Could have only been Your blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
