Once in sin's darkest night I was wandering alone
A stranger to mercy I stood
But the Savior came down and 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 iniquity so vast has been blotted out at last
My sins are all covered by the blood

I can ne'er understand why He sought even me
Why His lifeblood on Calvary flowed
But sufficient for me when 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

And now He comes to my heart and removes every care
He bears all my cumbering load
In a pathway replete with His love so complete
Since He put my sins under 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

When I see the blood, When I see the blood

Our iniquities so vast have been blotted out at last
Our sins are all covered by the blood
