From the recording Why Follow Jesus
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Out on this dreary street, I was lost and alone,
Carryin' a heavy load, far from my home.
But the Savior found me, with love so profound,
He paid my debt on the cross, now I’m blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Chorus)
Blood-bought and heaven-bound, I’m singin’ His praise,
Runnin’ this race with His grace all my days.
No chains can hold me, His mercy I’ve found,
I’m blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Verse 2)
I was stuck in the mire, sinking deep in my sin,
But Jesus lifted me up, gave me peace within.
With His nail-scarred hands, He turned my life around,
Now I’m walkin’ with my King, blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Chorus)
Blood-bought and heaven-bound, I’m singin’ His praise,
Runnin’ this race with His grace all my days.
No chains can hold me, His mercy I’ve found,
I’m blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Bridge)
When the storms of life rage, and the night feels so long,
I hold to the promise, His love makes me strong.
That old rugged cross is my anchor, my crown,
I’m standin’ on His truth, blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Chorus)
Blood-bought and heaven-bound, I’m singin’ His praise,
Runnin’ this race with His grace all my days.
No chains can hold me, His mercy I’ve found,
I’m blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Outro)
So I’ll walk this old path ‘til I see His face,
In that sweet by-and-by, saved by His grace.
With a heart full of joy, I’ll forever be found,
Blood-bought and heaven-bound!
(Chorus)
Blood-bought and heaven-bound, I’m singin’ His praise,
Runnin’ this race with His grace all my days.
No chains can hold me, His mercy I’ve found,
I’m blood-bought and heaven-bound!
