I don't believe we've met
But I know who you are
Your story made the papers
Most Wanted ran your name

The press called out for justice
For all the misery, the pain
You must have stunned the gates of Heaven
He said, 'It's easy to explain'

It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus

The blood of Jesus
That washed away my guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin

You know you can't help believing
That when we breathe our last
And we mercifully go free of earthly ties
And we wake up in that city

And behold the family
Who is there and who is missing
Well, we may just be surprised

It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus

The blood of Jesus
That washed away my guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin

I believe that there's reality in mercy after all
There is truth in being saved by grace though faith
And I believe that when I'm called
To give an answer on that day

I'll be sure that my debt is paid
Gonna fall on my knees and say

It was the blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus
That opened Heaven's door to let me in
It was the blood of Jesus

The blood of Jesus
That washed away my guilt
That washed away
The guilt of all my sin
