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

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

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