BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD
by The Collingsworth Family
The thief on the cross deserved his sentence,
Dying for the crimes he had done;
Desperate and hopeless with only a prayer left,
He turned and asked for mercy from God's son.
As the veil was being torn the thunder shook the earth,
And the power of the blood reached out to him;
As Jesus paid the sacrifice He made a promise,
Today you'll be with me in Paradise.
Because of the blood he was freed that day,
Death's chains lost their hold on him his sins washed away;
He met One who forgave him,
And changed his destiny;
His sins were forgiven, forgotten forever,
Because of the blood.
And like the thief on the cross my soul was covered,
With the stains of my sin that brought me shame;
Desperate and dying I looked to the cross,
And called upon Jesus' name.
I don't understand it and I can't explain it,
But one thing I know for sure;
My sins are washed away, Oh happy day,
That's why we stand here and sing.
Because of the blood I am free today,
Sin's chains have no hold on me;
My ransom is paid!
Oh Jesus forgave me and He changed my destiny,
My sins are forgiven, forgotten forever;
Because of the blood.
I am free today,
Sin's chains have no hold on me;
My ransom is paid!
Oh Jesus forgave me and He changed my destiny,
My sins are forgiven, forgotten forever;
Oh, forgiven, forgotten forever.
Jesus forgave me and He changed my destiny,
My sins are forgiven, forgotten forever;
Because of the blood.
Because of the blood.
Because of the blood!
