Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, everything changed, it's getting harder to recognize
The person I was before I encountered Christ
I don't walk like I used to
I don't talk like I used to
I've been washed from the inside
I've been washed from the inside
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
[Verse 2]
I cannot explain, but nothing's more real than this
In the presence of God, oh, what my heart experienced
When my shame hit the wayside
And my sin met the Most High
I've been washed from the inside
I've been washed from the inside
[Chorus]
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
It could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
[Verse 3]
Thank You, thank You, Jesus
Thank You, thank You, Father
Come on, it's never been
[Bridge]
It's never been about performance, perfection
Or striving for acceptance
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
It's never been about deserving or earning
It's a gift that's freely given
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
[Bridge]
Oh, does anybody want to be holy and righteous?
Purified and spotless?
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
Justified, really living
Let me tell you, it's only by the blood
[Chorus]
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
It could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
[Verse 4]
Now all that's left to do is praise
Oh, because of Your blood
All I have left to say is thank You, Lord, thank You, Lord
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been the blood
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I know it was the blood
Could have only been Your blood
[Outro]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
