VERSE 1
The blood that covered the cross
Covered my sin
The crimson stream has washed me clean within

His cruel death, it saved my life
This holy fountain testifies ….

CHORUS
The blood lives on
The blood lives on
From two thousand years ago
The blood lives on
The reason that I know
I’ve been washed white as snow
The blood lives on
The blood lives on

VERSE 2
The sacrifice Jesus gave
Gave me His grace
Mercy’s spring, it still redeems today

It wasn’t finished at the grave
Just ask the heart that has been changed

CHORUS

TAG
And the reason that I know
I’ve been washed white as snow
The blood lives on
The blood lives on
