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

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

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

You paid it for us, Jesus
