She's lost and feelin' lonely
Not knowin' what to do
Lookin' for salvation from the
Backslider pew
Preacher's words brought comfort
And he made her believe
Only blood can set you free
Preacher was a young man
Barely 29
When the seed of love was planted
There in that receiving line
Before too long they took their vows
And became a family
Only blood can set you free
Only blood is strong enough to wash away your sins
Only blood is strong enough to change the way you've been
Between Jesus and the devil, there's a path for you and me
Only blood can set you free
He broke that enscription
Inside her wedding band
But soon she came to know him
Like the back of his hand
She clung to her Bible
And got down on her knees
Only blood can set you free
Only blood is strong enough to wash away your sins
Only blood is strong enough to change the way you've been
Between Jesus and the devil, there's a path for you and me
Only blood can set you free
He came home one evenin'
And much to his surprise
He was greeted with a pistol
And a fire in her black eye
She said, "I've talked to Jesus
And he's been tellin' me
Only blood can set me free"
Only blood is strong enough to wash away your sins
Only blood is strong enough to change the way you've been
Between Jesus and the devil, there's a path for you and me
Only blood can set you free
Only blood can set you free
