| Tune: | IT WAS THE BLOOD |
| Arranger: | Sean Ivory |
1 I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood for me.
Refrain:
One day when I was lost
he died upon the cross.
I know it was the blood for me.
2 They whipped him all night long,
they whipped him all night long,
they whipped him all night long for me. [Refrain]
3 They pierced him in his side,
they pierced him in his side,
they pierced him in his side for me. [Refrain]
4 He hung his head and died,
he hung his head and died,
he hung his head and died for me. [Refrain]
5 He's coming back again,
he's coming back again,
he's coming back again for me. [Refrain]
