B                                          F#   E
Everything changed, it’s getting harder to recognize
                                        B
The person I was before I encountered Christ
 
I don’t walk like I used to
                    F#      E
I don’t talk like I used to
E
I’ve been washed from the inside
E                                B
I’ve been washed from the inside out
 
 
[Chorus]
B                F#  E
Hallelujah, hallelujah
E
I know it was the blood
E
Could have only been the blood

[Verse 2]
B                                               E
I cannot explain but nothing’s more real than this
                                               B
In the presence of God, oh what my heart experienced
B
When my shame hit the wayside
                          E
And my sin met the Most High
E
I was washed from the inside
E                            B
I was washed from the inside out
 
 
[Chorus]
B                F#  E
Hallelujah, hallelujah
E
I know it was the blood
E
Could have only been the blood

It’s never been about performance, perfection
B
Or striving for acceptance
F#          E
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                         B
It’s never been about deserving or earning
 
It’s a gift that’s freely given
F#        E
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                         B
Does anybody want to be holy, righteous
B
Purified and spotless
F#        E
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
                          G#m
Does anybody want to be worthy, forgiven
B
Justified, really living
F#        E
Let me tell you, it’s only by the blood
 
 
[Chorus]
B                F#  E
Hallelujah, hallelujah
E
I know it was the blood
E
Could have only been the blood
 
 
[Verse 3]
B                            F#      E
What can I say, thank You is not enough
                                     C#m
Jesus Your grace, Your mercy poured out for us
B                                           F#    E
I will love You forever, here on earth into heaven
E
I’ve been washed from the inside
E                                B
I’ve been washed from the inside out
 
 
[Spontaneous Chorus]
B                      F#
How precious, how generous
E
Your blood poured out for us
B                      F#
How precious, how generous
E
We remember
