Lyrics

Would you be free from the bur­den of sin?
There’s pow­er in the blood, pow­er in the blood;
Would you o’er ev­il a vic­to­ry win?
There’s won­der­ful pow­er in the blood.

Refrain

There is pow­er, pow­er, won­der work­ing pow­er
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is pow­er, pow­er, won­der wor­king pow­er
In the pre­cious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your pass­ion and pride?
There’s pow­er in the blood, pow­er in the blood;
Come for a cleans­ing to Cal­va­ry’s tide;
There’s won­der­ful pow­er in the blood.

Refrain

Would you be whit­er, much whit­er than snow?
There’s pow­er in the blood, pow­er in the blood;
Sin stains are lost in its life giv­ing flow.
There’s won­der­ful pow­er in the blood.

Refrain

Would you do serv­ice for Je­sus your king?
There’s pow­er in the blood, pow­er in the blood;
Would you live dai­ly His prais­es to sing?
There’s won­der­ful pow­er in the blood.
