IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD



IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD...

Verse:
I DON'T UNDERSTAND...HOW IT CAN BE
THAT A MAN LIKE JESUS WOULD DIE FOR ME.
HE LEFT HIS THRONE FOR CALVARY,
HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SET ME FREE.
THEN I MET HIM ONE DAY AS I KNELT TO PRAY,
I FOUND HIS GREAT LOVE FOREVER THAT DAY,
I REALIZED THEN I'M NO LONGER THE SAME,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD...OH PRAISE HIS NAME.

Chorus:
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD OF GOD'S ONLY SON,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS, THE ONE
WHO GAVE HIS LIFE ON CALVARY'S TREE
TO SET MY CAPTIVE SPIRIT FREE.

Verse:
I TRY NOT TO THINK HOW IT WOULD BE
WITHOUT THE CROSS...WITHOUT CALVARY.
IF THERE WAS NO GOD...AND THERE WAS NO SON,
NOT EVEN A GRAVE...NO VICTORY WON.
I START TO TREMBLE. I JUST WANT TO SHOUT.
MY HEART STARTS TO BEAT LIKE IT'S COMING OUT,
THEN I REMEMBER...IT'S NOT HOW I FEEL,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD...IT COULD BE REAL.

Chorus:
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD, MY SOUL WOULD BE LOST,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD THAT PAID THE COST.
IT STILL FLOWS TODAY FROM CALVARY,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD...WHERE WOULD I BE?

Tag:
IT STILL FLOWS TODAY FROM CALVARY,
IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD...WHERE WOULD I BE?
