There is a fountain that will never run dry
That blood's still flowing from my Savior's side
That stream of scarlet somehow washed me white
That living water brought me back to life
Oh, the body that was broken
Oh, the freedom that was won
Now the door's forever open
It's only by the blood
What a gift we've been given
By the power of His love
We were dead but now we're living
It's only by the blood
What kind of king would choose to give it all up
Trade in the streets of gold to walk with us
Carry the shame of what He's never done
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
Oh, the body that was broken
Oh, the freedom that was won
Now the door's forever open
It's only by the blood
What a gift we've been given
By the power of His love
We were dead but now we're living
It's only by the blood
We were dead but now we're living
It's only by the blood
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be without
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be without
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be without
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be
Without the body that was broken
And the freedom that was won
Now the door's forever open
It's only by the blood
What a gift we've been given
By the power of His love
We were dead but now we're living
It's only by the blood
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be without
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be without
Jesus, Jesus
How I need You
Jesus, Jesus
Where would I be
