I was blinded by the devil
Born already ruined
Stone cold dead
As i stepped out of the womb.
By his grace i have been touched
By his word i have been healed
By his hand i've been delivered
By his spirit i've been sealed.

I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved.
Well i'm so glad
Yes i'm so glad
I'm so glad
So glad
I wanna thank you lord
Wanna thank you lord
Wanna thank you lord.

By his truth i can be upright
By his strength i do endure
By his power i've been lifted
In his love i am secure
Tho he bought me for a price
Freed me from the pit
With all emptiness and' wrath
An' the fires that burn within.

I've been saved, well alright
Saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved.
I'm so glad
I'm glad
So glad
Thank you lord
I just wanna thank you lord.

Nobody to rescue me
Nobody would dare
I was goin' down for the last time
But by his mercy i've been spared.
Not by works
By praisin' him who called
For so long i've been hindered
For so long i've been stalled.

But i've been saved, oh yes, 
Yes i've been saved
By the blood of the lamb
Well i'm so glad, alright i'm so glad
I wanna thank you lord.
