Under the Blood

V1:
Cast down by the weight of sin's awful curse
It seems as though this crazy world just gets worse and worse
Searching for healing of this broken life
I saw the hill of Calvary, and it was then I realized...

Chorus:
My sins are under the blood
I've been forgiven and redeemed
Through Jesus Christ the King
His suffering paved the way
Every drop
That fell from the cross
Brought salvation to the lost
Mercy flowing like a flood
Under the blood.

V2:
I can not comprehend what He felt that day
The same people He renewed now shunned Him away
The holy Lamb of God payed the price
Through the breaking of His body, His death restored my life.

Repeat chorus.

Bridge:
And I am humbled just to know He knows my name
That precious flow of crimson red gives me power to proclaim...

Chorus:
My sins are under the blood
I've been forgiven and redeemed
Through Jesus Christ the King
His suffering paved the way
Every drop that fell from the cross
Brought salvation to the lost
Mercy flowing like a flood
Under the blood.


Song facts: Written about 2 years ago; one of my teachers in high school was talking about how he used to have a rather alternative lifestyle, but "now all that's under the blood." I thought that was pretty cool.
