My soul was in chains A slave to sin Had no hope of ever been free again But the Lamb of God So willingly With His precious blood Pay the ransom for me Bought by the blood On the old rugged cross Bought by the blood for an awful couse No longer a slave to the things of this world I been redeem and bought by the blood I search many times But I found no way The price was to great I had nothing to pay At an old fashioned alter Down on my knees I found that the blood pay the rensom for me // Bought by the blood On the old rugged cross Bought by the blood for an awful couse No longer a slave to the things of this world I been redeemed and bought by the blood // I been redeemed and bought by the blood
