By His blood we’ve been made holy
By His blood we’ve been made clean
Precious blood eternal sacrifice
Shed for you shed for me
There is no other sacrifice
No way to wash away our sin
But now the curtain has been torn
And we can freely enter in
He paid a debt we could not pay
He paid a price that was so dear
And though we once were far away
The blood of Christ has drawn us near
Christ the spotless Lamb of God
Messiah offered up for me
His blood upon the mercy seat
Reminding God that I am clean
