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
