Zion still Sings ‎#201

201. I Know It Was the Blood

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 nailed him to the cross,
they nailed him to the cross,
they nailed him to the cross for me. [Refrain]

3 They pierced him in the side,
they pierced him in the side,
they pierced him in the side for me. [Refrain]

4 He never said a mumblin' word,
he never said a mumblin' word,
he never said a mumblin' word for me. [Refrain]

5 He hung his head and died,
he hung his head and died,
he hung his head and died for me. [Refrain]

6 He rose up from the grave,
he rose up from the grave,
he rose up from the grave for me. [Refrain]

7 He's coming back again,
he's coming back again,
he's coming back again for me. [Refrain]
