| Earn your way, that’s the lesson that we’re taught
|
| But I know things eternal can’t be sold and can’t be bought
|
| Amazing grace is something I could never hold
|
| And I know love and mercy are outside of my control
|
| But I’m reminded of a ransom, paid beyond my worth
|
| On a hill outside the city, where heaven kissed the earth
|
| Because of that blood, because of that dream
|
| Because of that mercy pouring over me
|
| Because of that grace I’ve been set free
|
| Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed
|
| Some believe that they can make it on their own
|
| But only in the end to find they’re really not that strong
|
| But I believe that if I choose to live by faith
|
| That God will give me strength to make it each and every day
|
| For we are lost without a Savior, to save us from ourselves
|
| For it’s only by the grace of God that we can live to tell, hey
|
| Because of that blood, because of that dream
|
| Because of that mercy pouring over me
|
| Because of that grace I’ve been set free
|
| Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed
|
| Who of us can say that we are worthy of the blood of Jesus Christ
|
| All that we can do is simply offer Him our own by laying down our lives
|
| Because of that blood, because of that dream
|
| Because of that mercy pouring over me
|
| Because of that grace I’ve been set free
|
| Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed
|
| Because of that grace I’ve been set free
|
| Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed
|
| Oh, thank You, Lord
|
| Oh, because of that blood |
