verse 1
Before the cross I kneel and see
The measure of my sin
How You became a curse for me
Though You were innocent
The magnitude of Your great love
Was shown in full degree
When righteous blood, the crimson spill
Rained down from Calvary
Chorus
Oh, the precious blood
That flowed from Mercys side
Washed away my sin
When Christ my Savior died
Oh, the precious blood
Of Christ the crucified
It speaks for me before Your throne
Where I stand justified
verse 2
And who am I that I should know
This treasure of such worth
My Saviors pure atoning blood
Shed for the wrath Id earned
For sin has stained my every deed
My every word and thought
What wondrous love that makes me one
Your priceless blood has bought
BRIDGE
A crown of thorns, pierced hands and feet
A body bruised, and Mercys plea
