THE BLOOD OF JESUS
By wayne watson

I don’t believe we’ve met But I know who you are
Your story made the papers Most wanted ran your name
And the press called out for justice For all the misery and 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 the guilt Washed away
The guilt of all my sin

You know I 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 might be a little surprised

It’s just the Blood of Jesus The Blood of Jesus
That opens heaven’s door To let me in
I was the Blood of Jesus The Blood of Jesus
That washed away the guilt Washed away
The guilt of all my sin

I believe there’s reality In mercy after all
I believe there’s truth In being saved
By grace through faith
I believe when I’m called To give an answer on that day
I’ll be sure that my debt is paid I’m 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 the guilt Washed away
The guilt of all my sin.
