[Verse]
C Em
When I think of heaven
F C
And all the sites I'll see
F C
The walls of jasper, gates of pearl
Dm7 G
The clear and golden street.
C Em
Why should I be present?
F C
Why should I enter in?
F C
After all the sinful living
Dm7 G
And the wicked one I've been.
C Em
In the presence of Jehovah
F C
As I stand before the throne
F C
The accuser of the brethren
Dm7 G
Starts to read the things I've done.
C Em
As I hear the awful charges
F C
The question fills my mind
F C Am
Why should I not be put in hell
Dm7 G G7
To suffer for all time?
[Chorus]
C Em
It's through the blood
F G G7
That's all I have to plea
C Em
It's through the blood
F G
That Jesus shed for me
F G
Not by works of my own righteousness
C Em Am
For filthy rags are they
F C
But because of that old rugged tree,
F C
Jesus died on Calvary
F C Dm7
This is my only plea,
G C
It's through the blood.
[Verse]
C Em
When I'm walking through a valley
F C
And I feel there's no way out
F C Am
When the winds of sorrow threaten me
Dm7 G
And they turn my world around.
C Em
That's when I look to Jesus
F C
And the price He paid for me
F C
I can lift my hand in praise to Him
Dm G G7
And shout the victory!
[Chorus]
C Em
It's through the blood
F G G7
That's all I have to plea
C Em
It's through the blood
F G
That Jesus shed for me
F G
Not by works of my own righteousness
C Em Am
For filthy rags are they
F C
But because of that old rugged tree,
F C
Jesus died on Calvary
F C Dm7
This is my only plea,
G C
It's through the blood.
C G
Oh, precious is the flow
F G F G
That makes me white as snow
C G
No, other fount I know,
F G C
It’s through the blood.
F G C
It’s through the blood.
