HOW BLESSED

How blessed was the precious life
Laid down at Calvary that took the sin
Of lowly man and nailed it to the tree

How blessed, how blessed,
How blessed is the blood of Jesus

How blessed was the innocent Lamb
That uttered not a sound
Who chose instead to bow His head
And bear the thorny crown

How blessed was the broken body
That wore the scarlet robe
Who became the name by which
We are saved
In whom we put our hope

And the pure, redeeming blood that flowed
From Your side is the sweet wine
That's poured out for Your bride
It flowed from Your side
