When I See the Blood
Words by John Foote
Music by J.G. Foote
Exodus 12:13
"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not
be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
Died for the sinner, paid all his due;
Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb,
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
I will pass, I will pass over you.
Chiefest of sinners, Jesus can save,
As He has promised that will He do;
Wash in the fountain opened for sin,
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
I will pass, I will pass over you.
Judgment is coming, all will be there,
Each one receiving justly his due;
Hide in the saving sin cleansing blood,
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
I will pass, I will pass over you.
O great compassion! O boundless love!
O loving kindness, faithful and true!
Find peace and shelter under the blood
And I will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
When I (when I) see the blood (see the blood),
I will pass, I will pass over you.
