Verse:
D MajorD F# minorF#m
When I think of heaven
G+G D MajorD
And all the sites I'll see
G+G D MajorD
The walls of jasper, gates of pearl
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
The clear and golden street.
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Why should I be present?
G+G D MajorD
Why should I enter in?
G+G D MajorD
After all the sinful living
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
And the wicked one I've been.
D MajorD F# minorF#m
In the presence of Jehovah
G+G D MajorD
As I stand before the throne
G+G D MajorD
The accuser of the brethren
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
Starts to read the things I've done.
D MajorD F# minorF#m
As I hear the awful charges
G+G D MajorD
The question fills my mind
G+G D MajorD - B minorBm
Why should I not be put in hell
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA - A7A7
To suffer for all time?
Chorus:
D MajorD - F# minorF#m
It's through the blood
G+G A augmentedA A7A7
That's all I have to plea
D MajorD - F# minorF#m
It's through the blood
G+G A augmentedA
That Jesus shed for me
G+G A augmentedA
Not by works of my own righteousness
D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm
For filthy rags are they
G+G D MajorD
But because of that old rugged tree,
G+G D MajorD
Jesus died on Calvary
G+G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
This is my only plea,
A augmentedA D MajorD
It's through the blood.
Verse:
D MajorD F# minorF#m
When I'm walking through a valley
G+G D MajorD
And I feel there's no way out
G+G D MajorD B minorBm
When the winds of sorrow threaten me
E minor 7Em7 A augmentedA
And they turn my world around.
D MajorD F# minorF#m
That's when I look to Jesus
G+G D MajorD
And the price He paid for me
G+G D MajorD
I can lift my hand in praise to Him
E minorEm A augmentedA - A7A7
And shout the victory!
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh, precious is the flow
G+G A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
That makes me white as snow
D MajorD A augmentedA
No, other fount I know,
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
It’s through the blood.
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
