I Come By the Blood

You are the perfect and righteous God
Whose presence bears no sin
You bid me come to Your holy place
How can I enter in
When Your presence bears no sin?

Through Him
Who poured out His life for me
The atoning Lamb of God
Through Him, and His work alone
I boldly come

I come by the blood
I come by the cross
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me
For I dare not stand
On my righteousness
My every hope rests
On what Christ has done
And I come by the blood

You are the high and exalted King
The One the angels fear
So far above me in every way
Lord, how can I draw near
To the One the angels fear?

Through Him
Who laid down His life for me
And ascended to Your side
Through Him, through Jesus alone
I boldly come

I come by the blood
I come by the cross
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me
For I dare not stand
On my righteousness
My every hope rests
On what Christ has done

And I come by the blood
I come by the cross
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me
For I dare not stand
On my righteousness
My every hope rests
On what Christ has done
And I come, yes I come
I come by the blood
