Covered by the Blood

Once in sin’s dark­est night

I was wan­der­ing 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.

Mine 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 hath put my sins un­der the blood.

Now He comes to my heart

And re­moves ev­ery care;

He bears all my cum­ber­ing load.

In a path­way re­plete

With His love are my feet

Since He put my sins un­der the blood.
