I Come By the Blood

V1 You are the perfect and righteous God Whose presence bears no sin You bid me come to Your holy place How can I enter in When Your presence bears no sin Through Him who poured out His life for me The atoning Lamb of God Through Him and His work alone I boldly come CH I come by the blood, I come by the cross Where Your mercy flows from hands pierced for me For I dare not stand on my righteousness My every hope rests on what Christ has done And I come by the blood V2 You are the high and exalted King The One the angels fear So far above me in ev'ry way Lord, how can I draw near To the One the angels fear Through Him who laid down His life for me And ascended to Your side Through Him, through Jesus alone I boldly come
