             Through the eyes of his mercy, I could look on my past,
              Such a wretch, such a failure, in darkness I dwelled;
                 I find no worthy deeds written in my report,
           Who can plead for my soul? Who could save me from death?
                                3
              A great balance He held with His mighty right hand,
                And I trembled in fear as I stood on the scale;
             There I weighed all my works, but I fell short of worth,
                   Who could sway that great balance?
                      Who could plead for my soul?

                 Would you be free from the burden of sin?
                There's power in the blood, power in the blood
                    Would you o'er evil a victory win?
                   There's wonderful power in the blood.

                  There is //pow'r//, wonder working pow'r,
                       In the blood of the Lamb;
                  There is //power// uncompared power,
                    In the precious blood of the Lamb.

               Would you be free from your passion and pride?
               There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
               Would you be strong and be faithful when tried?
                   There's wonderful power in the blood.
                                3
                 Would you do service for Jesus, your King?
               There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
                 Come and be saved for His love is a spring,
                   There's wonderful power in the blood.
