Lyrics

Once in sin’s darkest night I was wandering alone
A stranger to mercy I stood
But the Savior came nigh
When he heard my faint cry
And He put my sins under the blood

They are covered by the blood
They are covered by the blood
My sins are all covered by the blood
Mine iniquities so vast
Have been blotted out at last
My sins are all covered by the blood

From the burden I carried now I am set free
For Jesus has lifted my load
Oh the love and the grace I received in its place
When he put my sins under the blood

I can never understand why He sought even me
Why His lifeblood on Calvary flowed
But sufficient for me
Since He died on the tree
He hath put my sins under the blood

Now He comes to my heart and removes every care
He bears all my cumbering load
In a pathway replete
With His love are my feet
Since He put my sins under the blood
