Lord and I know it was the blood,
Let me tell you too
I know it was the blood for me.
One day when I was lost,
Jesus died upon the cross;
and I know it was the blood for me,
see I know it was the blood for me.
Blood came streaming down for me.
Blood came streaming down for me.
One day when I was lost,
Jesus died upon the cross;
and I know it was the blood for me,
see I know it was the blood for me.
The blood came streaming down,
when they pierced Him in His side.
One day when I was lost,
He died upon the cross;
and I know it was the blood for me,
for I know it was the blood for me.
I know,
I know it was the blood.
I know, I know,
I know, I know.
For I know it was the blood for me,
for I know it was the blood for me.
