The Blood is still There

Verse 1

C G C
One dark night in Egypt
  F
a fearful time had come
  G C
For one little Hebrew boy who was
  G
his father's firstborn son
  C G C F
Now with the angel of death passing low it was hard to fall asleep
  G C Am Dm G C
But one little lamb stood in his mind as he lay there counting sheep
  C G C F
He wondered why this young lamb had to die why his blood was on the door
  G C G
Through the wind and rain would it still remain he wanted to be sure
  C G C
So he called out to his earthly father
  F
with a trembling voice so scared
  G C Am Dm G C
Crying Father would you please go look and see if the blood is still there?

Chorus

  F G C G     G C
And he said Son now don't you C}worry for the F}blood is there to stay
  F C
The wind may blow and the rain may fall
  G
but it won't just wash a - way
  C G C
The blood will stand the raging storm
  F Dm
it’s been applied with loving care
F G   Am Dm G C
Safe, se - cure you can C}rest as - sured that the blood is still there

Verse 2

F/G C G C
Looking over all the damage
  F
Satan’s storm had left behind
  G C
The flood of endless questions
  G
and even doubt had filled my mind
  C G C
The fear that gripped my troubled soul
  F
brought me back to my knees in prayer
  G C Am Dm G C
Crying Father would you please go look and see if the blood is still there

Chorus

  F G C G     G C
And he said Son now don't you C}worry formy F}blood is there to stay
  F C
The wind may blow and the rain may fall
  G
but it won't just wash a- way
  C G C
My blood will stand the raging storm
  F Dm
it’s been applied with loving care
F G   Am Dm G C
Safe, se - cure you can C}rest as - sured that the blood is still there
