The Blood Lyrics:
Verse
Everything changed, it's getting harder to recognize
The person I was before I encountered Christ
I don't walk like I used to, I don't talk like I used to
I've been washed from the inside, I've been washed from the inside out

I cannot explain but nothing's more real than this
In the presence of God, oh what my heart experienced
When my shame hit the wayside, and my sin met the Most High
I was washed from the inside, I was washed from the inside out
