Covered By the Blood

Once in sin's darkest night
 I was wand'ring alone
 A stranger to mercy I stood
 But the Savior came nigh
 When He heard my faint cry
 And He put my sins under the blood
 They are covered by the blood
 They are covered by the blood
 My sins are all covered by the blood
 My iniquities so vast
 Have been blotted out at last
 My sins are all covered by the blood
 From the burden I carried now I am set free
 For Jesus has lifted my load
 O the love and the grace I received in its place
 When He put my sins under the blood
 I can ne'er understand why he sought even me
 Why His lifeblood on calvary flowed
 But sufficient for me,
 Since He died on the tree
 He has put my sins under the blood
 They are covered by the blood
 They are covered by the blood
 My sins are all covered by the blood
 My iniquities so vast
 Have been blotted out at last
 My sins are all covered by the blood
 My iniquities so vast
 Have been blotted out at last
 My sins are all covered by the blood
 My sins are all covered by the blood
