The Blood of Jesus

I don't believe we've met But I know who you are Your story made the papers Most Wanted ran your name The press called out for justice For all the misery, the pain 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 my guilt That washed away The guilt of all my sin You know you 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 may just 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 my 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 though faith And 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 my guilt That washed away The guilt of all my sin
