1 I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood,
I know it was the blood for me.
Refrain:
One day when I was lost
He died upon the cross.
I know it was the blood for me.
2 They whipped him all day long,
They whipped him all day long,
They whipped him all day long for me. [Refrain]
3 They pierced him in his side,
They pierced him in his side,
They pierced him in his side for me. [Refrain]
4 He never said a mumblin' word,
He never said a mumblin' word,
He never said a mumblin' word for me. [Refrain]
5 He hung his head and died,
He hung his head and died,
He hung his head and died for me. [Refrain]
6 He's coming back again,
He's coming back again,
He's coming back again for me. [Refrain]
