One Drop of Blood Capo 1
[Intro]
Em D Cadd9 Dsus2 Em D Cadd9 D
[Verse 1]
Em D
Standing in the courtroom, when I heard, how do you plead?
Em D
The accuser of the brethren, was staring at me
Em D
He said, we got your number, there is no escape
Em Bm11 B
For here are your transgressions, your failures and mistakes
Cadd9 Em
He pointed to the corner, where the scales of justice stood
Am Em
I saw so many failures there, there was nothing good
Cadd9 Em
And in that very moment, when it seemed all hope was lost
Cadd9 D
I said, I plead the blood of Jesus, and His death upon the cross
[Chorus]
G Dsus4 D
One drop of blood, fell to the scales
Am Am/G D
It covered my transgressions, and all the times I failed
G Cmaj
The enemy was mighty, he came in like a flood
G Dsus4 D Em D Cmaj D
He was defeated by one drop of blood
[Verse 2]
Em D
I stood and watched in silence, as others were brought in
Em D
I saw them start to tremble, when they turned and faced their sin
Em D
They offered no excuses, they offered no alibis
Em Bm11 B
The truth was overwhelming, and it would not be denied
Cadd9 Em
Their righteousness like filthy rags, and nothing they could say
Am Bm11 Em
They bowed their heads in silence, as they were led away
Cadd9 Em
But for the true believers, each time it was the same
Cadd9 Dsus4 D
His glory shown around them, as they called upon his name
[Chorus]
G Dsus4 D
One drop of blood, fell to the scales
Am Am/G D
It covered their transgressions, and all the times they failed
G Cmaj
The enemy was mighty, he came in like a flood

He was defeated by one drop of blood

*For those of you (like me) who struggle to play in sharps and flats
When I get to the bridge I just strike the last chord in the chorus
prior to the bridge really loud and hard and let it ring and while
it's ringing slide my capo up 1 fret and play it like this....*
