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

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

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

E
You paid it in full
            E    A
You paid it in blood
                A      E
You paid it for us, Jesus
