It's Under the Blood

1st verse
While walking down a memory lane
of paths not long ago
Old Satan came right by my side
making me feel low.
He brought of thoughts of hurt and pain
when I had gone astray.
He wanted to discourage me
as I walked along life's way.

He said you're undeserving
cause I know where you've been.
I have a record of your life
when you were bound by sin.
I know your darkest secrets
that you would never tell.
What makes you think you don't deserve
a place with me in hell.

Well, I heard the old accuser
and this was my reply;
"you're right for all the things I've done
I sure deserve to die.
My righteousness is filthy rags.
My goodness is unclean.
There's only one thing I can say
to what you've said to me.

Chorus
It's under the blood
oh praise His dear name.
I'm not what I used to be
my life's been changed.
Not shackled by sin and shame
it's already gone.
I'm happy reminding him
it's under the blood.

2nd verse
Victory was given me
when I was born again.
He washed my stained and sinful past
and put new life within.
No longer do I bare the mark
that sin had brought my way.
With happiness and peace of mind
Praise God, I now can say!

Chorus
It's under the blood
oh, praise His dear name
I'm not what I used to be
my life's been changed.
Not shackled by sin and shame
it's all ready gone.
I'm happy reminding him
it's under the blood

bridge
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Chorus
It's under the blood
oh, praise His dear name.
I'm not what I used to be
my life's been changed.
Not shackled by sin and shame
it's all ready gone.
I'm happy reminding Him
it's under the blood.
