(oh the blood)
Oh the blood of Jesus
(it will never lose its)
Power, power
Wonder working power
In the blood of the lamb
Power, power
Wonder working power
In the precious blood of the lamb
The lamb
Your only son, no sin to hide
But you have sent from your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And become the lamb of God
Your gift of love they crucified
They laughed and scorned him as he died
The humble king they named a fraud
And sacrified the lamb of God
Ohhhhh lamb of God, sweet lamb of God
Ilove the holy lamb of God
Oh wash me in his precious blood
My Jesus Christ, the lamb of God
I was so lost I should have died
But you have brought me to your side
To be led by your staff and rod
And change my name from cece to a lamb of God
Oh lamb of God, sweet lamb of God
I love the holy lamb of God
Oh wash me in your precious blood
'til I am a lamb of God
