Running like a river Came a desperate, raging tide Gaining new momentum With each sinful act of pride Generations longed for freedom But their will remained enslaved To hopeless repetition Of a guilty debt unpaid 'Til one Man Hanging on one tree Took our sin and died to set us free CHORUS Just one drop of blood From the spotless Lamb One drop of blodd From the great I Am Sins of old and those to come Washed by Calvary's crucified Son It didn't take a river, stream, or flood
Just one drop of blood Deeper than a river Comes the pain that fills our land Running strong and silent Past our hopeful plans Violence and oppression Children dying in the streets Our only resolution Our only hope for peace Is just one Man Hanging on one tree Who took our sin and died to set us free CHORUS BRIDGE Oh, my sin could fill a thousand oceans And I'm as far away from heaven as I can be But my Saviour built a bridge to cross the distance To set me free CHORUS
