I Come by the Blood

Verse 1 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! Chorus 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. Verse 2 You are the high and exalted King, The One the angels fear. So far above me in ev'ry 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! Chorus 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.
