Before The Blood Was Dry
I just knew He couldn’t love me
There was no place left to run
Forgiveness seemed impossible
After all the things I’d done
And on my knees I cried for mercy
Then I heard the Lord reply
Don’t you know that I forgave you
Before the blood was dry.
Well, I was changed, redeemed, forgiven
Before the blood was dry
The debt I owed was canceled
In the twinkling of an eye
Long before the scars appeared
Where the nails had been applied
I was changed, redeemed, forgiven
Before the blood was dry.
There’s no way I could thank Him
For each drop of blood He lost
In crimson pools of mercy
On the ground beneath the cross
As they nailed His hands and feet in place
He heard this sinner’s cry
I was changed, redeemed, forgiven
Before the blood was dry
Long before the scars appeared
Where the nails had been applied
I was changed, redeemed, forgiven
Before the blood was dry
