I was looking for excuses And you offered me my soul In the name of all my weakness In the name of rock 'n roll By his sickness I am healed 'Cause they broke you I am whole Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus I went looking for the fig leaves And you asked me what they're for I was building up a wall And you offered me a door I was hoping for silver spoons But you handed me a sword Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus Maker is unmade Love succumbs to hate Life himself is slain Is death the only way? Is death the only way? I went looking for religion Absolutely not a friend I went looking for ways out And you showed me the way in I went looking for a ghost And instead I found a man Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus Felt like I was at the end Felt like giving up on life I talked about your mother And denied you once or twice Yeah I plucked out your beard Put a sword into your side Oh the wonderful of Jesus Life and love are torn By the blades of earthly swords We cut the final cord This is mercy's war This is mercy's war I was chasing after safety When my world went up in flames I watched all my defenses Washed like ashes down the drain I thought you were a stranger But you called me out by name Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus Your wounds are gaping open I couldn't recognize you at first And all I had to offer you Was an insult or a curse Blood dripped down like poison On the nauseated earth Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus This is mercy's war This is mercy's war Oh the wonderful blood of Jesus
