You made a way
You made a way
For me to come in
For me to come in
It’s crazy, I remember all the things that I did
But I’ve got a Father who forgives all of it
It’s the blood
It’s the blood
I’ve been forgiven
I’ve been forgiven
I’ve got the blood on me
I’ve got the blood on me
I’ve got the blood on me
I’ve got the blood on me
I’ve got the blood on me
I’ve got the blood on me
Shame couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Lust could not find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Peace always finds me
Now that I’ve got the blood on me
Goodness and mercy always find me
Since I’ve got the blood on me
Joy always finds me
Since I’ve got the blood on me
Goodness and mercy always find me
Now that I’ve got the blood on me
As far as the east is from the west
As far as the east is from the west
As far as the east is from the west
Is my sin from you
Depression came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Confusion came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Perversion came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Offense came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Strife came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
Depression came looking but it couldn’t find me
I’ve got the blood on me
He covers every race
He covers every culture
He covers every nation
I’ve got the blood on me
This is blood priority
Jesus’ blood priority
This is kingdom priority
This is kingdom priority
I’ve been forgiven
So I will forgive

It's the Blood (Matthew 26:28)
Song Meaning
Mercy Culture Worship lists what fails to reach someone rather than what changed inside them in "It's the Blood" — "shame couldn't find me, I've got the blood on me, lust could not find me, I've got the blood on me... depression came looking but it couldn't find me." Protection, not transformation, is the image doing the work.
"It's crazy, I remember all the things that I did, but I've got a Father who forgives all of it" names real memory of wrongdoing rather than a clean slate with no history, and "as far as the east is from the west, is my sin from you" quotes the Psalm directly as the measure of that forgiveness' distance.
"He covers every race, He covers every culture, He covers every nation" widens the claim from personal testimony to universal reach, and "I've been forgiven, so I will forgive" closes the song by turning the covering just described into something passed along rather than only received.
