All He Wants (Is My Blood)

As the lamplight grows so dim We no longer hear from Him All He wants is my blood And the darkness closes in For we are all awash in sin All He wants is my blood All He wants is my blood Lord, all you want is my sweet blood (my sinner's blood) Though my body stinks of sin Thou hast sworn to let me in O, all He wants is my blood As this poor old body shivers And the crops grow blight and wither All He wants is my blood Though my family's in the ground You won't hear me make a sound 'Cause all He wants is my blood All He wants is my blood Lord, all you want is my sweet blood (my sinner's blood) Though my body stinks of sin Thou hast sworn to let me in O, all He wants is my blood And as on my bed I lay I feel my soul slipping away All He wants is my blood I see angels through the heat Though the devil's at my feet And all He wants is my blood All He wants is my blood Lord, all you want is my sweet blood (my sinner's blood) Though my body stinks of sin Thou hast sworn to let me in O, all He wants is my blood
