[Verse 1]
G
Everything changed,
D    C
It’s getting harder to recognize
The person I was before
G
I encountered Christ
G
I don’t walk like I used to
D      C
I don’t talk like I used to
C
I’ve been washed from the inside
C                                G
I’ve been washed from the inside out.

[Chorus]
G                D  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-jah
C
I know it was the blood
C                        G
Could have only been the blood
G                D  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-jah
C
I know it was the blood
C                        G
Could have only been the blood.

[Verse 2]
G
I can not explain
D         C
but nothing’s more real than this
In the presence of God,
G
Oh what my heart experienced
G
When my shame hit the wayside
D    C
And my sin met the Most High
C
I was washed from the inside
C                            G
I was washed from the inside out.

[Chorus]
G                D  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-jah
C
I know it was the blood
C                        G
Could have only been the blood
G                D  C
Hallelujah, hallelu-jah
C
I know it was the blood
C                        G
Could have only been the blood.
