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
