For The Blood

Verse 1

I was a rebel child, never listening to a soul

Just doing my own thing, letting sin take control

It had a firm hold on me, and it wouldn't let me go

Walking down a broken path was the only life I'd know

Chorus

It wasn’t till the struggles in my life

Became more than I could bear

That I looked up to Jesus

And the cross waiting there enough to get me to walk down that church aisle

For the blood He shed on Calvary

Was enough to set me free

Yeah, the blood He shed was enough

To save me from myself

Verse 2

The peace I lost along the way could not calm my restless soul

I was searching for a something else to make my spirit whole

But nothing worked to ease the pain or satisfy my life

Just a longing that I could not fill, a world of endless strife

Verse 3

There was no way I’d get to heaven by the things that I had done

It took the Lord to change my heart, the victory had been won

I was lonesome in the shadows, needing someone to depend

Then He stepped into my darkness, and introduced me to my friend

Jesus

Chorus

It wasn’t till the struggles in my life

Became more than I could bear

That I looked up to Jesus

And the cross waiting there enough to get me to walk down that church aisle

For the blood He shed on Calvary

Was enough to set me free

Yeah, the blood He shed was enough

To save me from myself

Verse 4

Praise God, I’m set free by the blood of Jesus,

No more living in the shadows of the past.

I’ve gotta tell my friends and my family,

I found a peace that's gonna last.
