It's Through the Blood Lyrics When I think of Heaven and all the sights I'll see The walls of jasper, gates of pearl The clear and golden street Why should I be present? Why should I enter in? After all the sinful living And the wicked one I've been In the Presence of Jehovah As I stand before the throne The accuser of the brethren Starts to read the things I've done As I hear the awful charges The question fills my mind "Why should I not be put in hell To suffer for all time?" Chorus: It's through the blood That's all I have to plea It's through the blood That Jesus shed for me Not by works of my own righteousness For filthy rags are they But because of that old rugged tree Hanging on daaark Calvary This is my only plea It's through the blood When I'm walking through a valley And I feel there's no way out When the wind of sorrow threaten me And they turn my world around That's when I look to Jesus And the price He paid for me I can lift my hands in praise to Him And shout the victory Chorus: It's through the blood That's all I have to plea It's through the blood Jesus shed for me Not by works of my own righteousness For filthy rags are they But because of that old rugged tree Hanging on dark. Calvary This is my only plea It's through the blood Yes, because of that old rugged tree Hanging on dark Calvary This is my only plea It's through the blood
It's Through the Blood
Lyrics
When I think of Heaven and all the sights I'll see
The walls of jasper, gates of pearl
The clear and golden street
Why should I be present?
Why should I enter in?
After all the sinful living
And the wicked one I've been
In the Presence of Jehovah
As I stand before the throne
The accuser of the brethren
Starts to read the things I've done
As I hear the awful charges
The question fills my mind
"Why should I not be put in hell
To suffer for all time?"
Chorus:
It's through the blood
That's all I have to plea
It's through the blood
That Jesus shed for me
Not by works of my own righteousness
For filthy rags are they
But because of that old rugged tree
Hanging on daaark Calvary
This is my only plea
It's through the blood
When I'm walking through a valley
And I feel there's no way out
When the wind of sorrow threaten me
And they turn my world around
That's when I look to Jesus
And the price He paid for me
I can lift my hands in praise to Him
And shout the victory
Chorus:
It's through the blood
That's all I have to plea
It's through the blood
Jesus shed for me
Not by works of my own righteousness
For filthy rags are they
But because of that old rugged tree
Hanging on dark. Calvary
This is my only plea
It's through the blood
Yes, because of that old rugged tree
Hanging on dark Calvary
This is my only plea
It's through the blood
