Thank You Jesus for the Blood by Charity Gayle

Charity Gayle

I was a wretchI remember who I wasI was lost, I was blindI was running out of time

Sin separatedThe breach was far too wideBut from the far side of the chasmYou held me in your sight

So You made a wayAcross the great divideLeft behind Heaven's throneTo build it here inside

And there at the crossYou paid the debt I owedBroke my chains, freed my soulFor the first time I had hope

Thank you Jesus for the blood appliedThank you Jesus, it has washed me whiteThank you Jesus, You have saved my lifeBrought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my placeLaid inside my tomb of sinYou were buried for three daysBut then You walked right out again

And now death has no stingAnd life has no endFor I have been transformedBy the blood of the lamb

Thank You Jesus for the blood applied (thank You Jesus)Thank You Jesus, it has washed me whiteThank You Jesus, You have saved my lifeBrought me from the darkness into glorious light

There is nothing strongerThan the wonder working power of the bloodThe bloodThat calls us sons and daughtersWe are ransomed by our FatherThrough the bloodThe blood

There is nothing strongerOf the wonder working power of the bloodThe bloodThat calls us sons and daughtersWe are ransomed by the FatherThrough the bloodThe blood

Thank You Jesus for the blood appliedThank You Jesus, it have washed me whiteThank You Jesus, You have saved my lifeBrought me from the darkness into glorious light

Glory to His nameGlory to His nameThere to my heart was the blood appliedGlory to His name

Reckless Love by Cory Asbury

Cory Asbury

Before I spoke a word, You were singing over meYou have been so, so good to meBefore I took a breath, You breathed Your life in meYou have been so so kind to me

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of GodOh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99And I couldn't earn itI don't deserve it, still You give yourself awayOh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for meYou have been so, so good to meWhen I felt no worth, You paid it all for meYou have been so, so kind to me

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of GodOh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99And I couldn't earn itI don't deserve it, still You give yourself awayOh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God

There's no shadow You won't light upMountain You won't climb upComing after meThere's no wall You won't kick downLie You won't tear downComing after me

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of GodOh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still You give yourself awayOh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God
