[Verse 1]
The blood of Jesus, it is like the widow's oil
It's enough to pay the price to set you free
It can fill up every jar and every heart that ever beat
When it's all you have, it's all you'll ever need
When it's all you have, it's all you'll ever need

[Verse 2]
The blood of Jesus, it is like the leper's river
Running humble with a power you cannot see
Seven times go under, let the water wash you clean
Only go down to the Jordan and believe
Only go down in the Jordan and believe

[Chorus]
And I need it, I need it
The closer that I grow
The more I come to know how much I need it

[Verse 3]
The blood of Jesus, it is like Elijah's fire
Falling on the alter of your faith
All the wisdom of the world could never conjure up a spark
But no power of Hell could ever quench this flame
No power of Hell could ever touch this flame
[Chorus]
And I need it, I need it
The closer that I grow
The more I come to know how much I need it
And I need it, I need it
The closer that I grow
The more I come to know how much I need the blood of Jesus

[Outro]
The blood of Jesus, it is like the widow's oil
When it's all you have, it's all you'll ever need
It is all you'll ever need
