Earn your way, that's the lesson that we're taught
But I know things eternal can't be sold and can't be bought
Amazing grace is something I could never hold
And I know love and mercy are outside of my control

But I'm reminded of a ransom, paid beyond my worth
On a hill outside the city, where heaven kissed the earth

Because of that blood, because of that dream
Because of that mercy pouring over me
Because of that grace I've been set free
Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed

Some believe that they can make it on their own
But only in the end to find they're really not that strong
But I believe that if I choose to live by faith
That God will give me strength to make it each and every day

For we are lost without a Savior, to save us from ourselves
For it's only by the grace of God that we can live to tell, hey

Because of that blood, because of that dream
Because of that mercy pouring over me
Because of that grace I've been set free
Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed

Who of us can say that we are worthy of the blood of Jesus Christ
All that we can do is simply offer Him our own by laying down our lives

Because of that blood, because of that dream
Because of that mercy pouring over me
Because of that grace I've been set free
Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed

Because of that grace I've been set free
Because of You, Jesus, I have been redeemed
Oh, thank You, Lord
Oh, because of that blood
