Covered by the Blood

Verse 1:

I stood condemned before the throne

With sin I could not hide

But Jesus stepped between the gap

And brought me to His side

Chorus:

I’m covered by the blood

Oh, I’m covered by the blood

It speaks for me, it sets me free

It tells me I am loved

No more guilt, no more chains

I’ve been rescued in His name

Hallelujah, I’m redeemed—

I’m covered by the blood

Verse 2:

The cross became my saving grace

Where mercy bled for me

Now righteousness is my new robe

And shame has ceased to be

(Chorus)

Bridge (Call & Response, Choir):

(Call) What can wash away my sin?

(Response) Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

(Call) What can make me whole again?

(Response) Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Final Chorus (Modulated):

I’m covered by the blood

Oh, I’m covered by the blood

It speaks for me, it sets me free

It tells me I am loved

No more guilt, no more chains

I’ve been rescued in His name

Hallelujah, I’m redeemed—

I’m covered by the blood
