The Blood (Studio Version)

(feat. Jenn Johnson & David Funk)

Intro:
C 
Verse:
G    
Everything changed, 
                                         D      C
it’s getting harder to recognize
                         C                                         G
The person I was before I encountered Christ
                                        G
I don’t walk like I used to
                                 D      C
I don’t talk like I used to
                                                C
I’ve been washed from the inside
                                                G
I’ve been washed from the inside out
 
Chorus: (x2)
G                           D  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
                                    C
I know it was the blood
                                                 G
Could have only been the blood
 
Verse 2:
                   G    
I cannot explain 
                                      D           C
but nothing’s more real than this
                                    C 
In the presence of God, 
                                                G
oh what my heart experienced
                                               G
When my shame hit the wayside
                                        D       C
And my sin met the Most High
                                            C
I was washed from the inside
                                               G
I was washed from the inside out
 
Chorus: (x2)
G                        D  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
                                   C
I know it was the blood
                                                  G
Could have only been the blood

Bridge:

It’s never been about performance, perfection
          G
Or striving for acceptance
D                C
  Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                                           G
It’s never been about deserving or earning
               G
It’s a gift that’s freely given
D                 C
 Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                                               G
Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
      G
Purified and spotless
D                 C
 Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                                                Em
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
     G
Justified, really living
                  C
 Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
 
Chorus: (x2)
G                         D  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
                                  C
I know it was the blood
                                                  G
Could have only been the blood
