I Come by the Blood

I know it's been a while since I've updated, and well, this one isn't much of update on my life. But, I've got the wheels on my mind spinning with things, and this is something that needed to come out. 2 Sundays ago, I was up at Camp Chetek going to church there at Faith and this song was sung. The words really hit me. I've been thinking about them for a while and they've been a blessing to me. Read and enjoy :)

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

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

You are the high and exalted King
The One the angels fear
So far above me in every 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

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
