I’ve heard it said
That I’ve made friends with my demons
I’ve heard it said
That I’m to chained to be set free
I’ve heard it said
That what he did was for another
I’ve heard it said
That God could never want someone like me
Oh, but the blood of Jesus
When it ran down the cross of Calvary
That blood was for the broken,
the down and out
and things unspoken
By that blood we stand redeemed
I’ve heard it said
That I won’t darken that door
I’ve heard it said
He’s not a god that I believe
I’ve heard it said
I will never follow him
I’ve heard it said
I can’t serve a god who isn’t serving me
Oh, but the blood of Jesus
When it ran down the cross of Calvary
That blood was for the broken,
the down and out
and things unspoken
By that blood we stand redeemed
Sometimes it hard to hear a voice that whispers
We’d rather have a thunder clap
or trumpet sound
Make it clearer, make it louder
So I don’t have to be a doubter
How can I trust a god who bleeds like me?
Oh, but the blood of Jesus
Was never just the blood that we all bleed
It was the blood that fixed the broken,
And gave a voice to things unspoken
It’s only by that blood that we stand redeemed
