[Verse 1]
DWhen I think of F#mheaven
GAnd all the sites DI'll see
GThe walls of jasper, Dgates of pearl
The Em7clear and golden Astreet.
DWhy should I be F#mpresent?
Why Gshould I enter Din?
After Gall the sinful Dliving
And the Em7wicked one I've Abeen.
In the Dpresence of F#mJehovah
As I Gstand before the Dthrone
The Gaccuser of the Dbrethren
Starts to Em7read the things I've Adone.
As I Dhear the awful F#mcharges
The Gquestion fills my Dmind
                           G   D- Bm  
Why should I not be put in hell
               Em7   A- A7  
To suffer for all time?
[Chorus]
                  D- F#m  
It's through the blood
That's Gall I have to ApleaA7  
                  D- F#m  
It's through the blood
That GJesus shed for Ame
Not by Gworks of my own Arighteousness
For Dfilthy F#mrags are Bmthey
But Gbecause of that old rugged Dtree, 
JeGsus died on DCalvary
GThis is my only plDea,Em7  
It's Athrough the Dblood.
[Verse 2]
DWhen I'm walking through a F#mvalley
And I Gfeel there's no way Dout
When the Gwinds of sorrow Dthreaten Bmme
And they Em7turn my world Aaround.
DThat's when I look to F#mJesus
And the Gprice He paid for Dme
I can Glift my hand in Dpraise to Him
            Em   A- A7  
And shout the victory!
[Chorus]
DOh, precious is the Aflow
GThat makes Ame Gwhite as Asnow
DNo, other fAount I know,
GIt’s Athrough the Dblood.
GIt’s Athrough the Dblood.
