I don't believe we've met
But I know who you are
Your story made the papers
Most wanted ran your name
And the press called out for justice
For all the misery and the pain
Yeah, you must have stunned the gates of Heaven
He said, "It's easy to explain"
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That washed away the guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin
You know I can't help believing
That when we breathe our last
And we mercifully go free of earthly ties
And we wake up in that city
And behold the family
Who is there and who is missing
Well, we just might be surprised
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That washed away the guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin
I believe that there's reality in mercy after all
There is truth in being saved
By grace through faith
Yeah, I believe that when I'm called
To give an answer on that day
I'll be sure that my debt is paid
Gonna fall on my knees and say
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That washed away the guilt
That washed away, I know
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
I believe, I believe
It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That washed away the guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin
Come on and tell me
(What can wash away my sin?)
I believe it's nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
Nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
Nothing, nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
Nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
Nothing, nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
Nothing but the blood
(What can wash away my sin?)
