The Inspirations - It's Under the Blood lyrics

1st verse While walking down a memory lane of paths not long ago Old Satan came right by my side making me feel low. He brought of thoughts of hurt and pain when I had gone astray. He wanted to discourage me as I walked along life's way. He said you're undeserving cause I know where you've been. I have a record of your life when you were bound by sin. I know your darkest secrets that you would never tell. What makes you think you don't deserve a place with me in hell. Well, I heard the old accuser and this was my reply; "you're right for all the things I've done I sure deserve to die. My righteousness is filthy rags. My goodness is unclean. There's only one thing I can say to what you've said to me. Chorus It's under the blood oh praise His dear name. I'm not what I used to be my life's been changed. Not shackled by sin and shame it's already gone. I'm happy reminding him it's under the blood. 2nd verse Victory was given me when I was born again. He washed my stained and sinful past and put new life within. No longer do I bare the mark that sin had brought my way. With happiness and peace of mind Praise God, I now can say! Chorus It's under the blood oh, praise His dear name I'm not what I used to be my life's been changed. Not shackled by sin and shame it's all ready gone. I'm happy reminding him it's under the blood bridge What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Chorus It's under the blood oh, praise His dear name. I'm not what I used to be my life's been changed. Not shackled by sin and shame it's all ready gone. I'm happy reminding Him it's under the blood.
