[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A E D
Everything changed, it’s getting harder to recognize
A
The person I was before I encountered Christ
I don’t walk like I used to
E D
I don’t talk like I used to
D
I’ve been washed from the inside
D A
I’ve been washed from the inside out
[Chorus]
A E D
Hallelujah, hallelujah
D
I know it was the blood
D
Could have only been the blood
[Channel]
A A E D
[Verse 2]
A D
I cannot explain but nothing’s more real than this
A
In the presence of God, oh what my heart experienced
A
When my shame hit the wayside
D
And my sin met the Most High
D
I was washed from the inside
D A
I was washed from the inside out
[Chorus]
A E D
Hallelujah, hallelujah
D
I know it was the blood
D
Could have only been the blood
[Channel]
A A E D
[Bridge]
A
It’s never been about performance, perfection
A
Or striving for acceptance
E D
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
A
It’s never been about deserving or earning
It’s a gift that’s freely given
E D
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
A
Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
A
Purified and spotless
E D
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
F#m
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
A
Justified, really living
E D
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
[Chorus]
A E D
Hallelujah, hallelujah
D
I know it was the blood
D
Could have only been the blood
[Verse 3]

What can I say, thank You is not enough

Jesus Your grace, Your mercy poured out for us
A E D
I will love You forever, here on earth into heaven
D
I’ve been washed from the inside
D A
I’ve been washed from the inside out
[Spontaneous Chorus]

How precious, how generous

Your blood poured out for us

How precious, how generous

We remember

You paid it in blood

You paid it for us, Jesus
