One Drop of Blood

The weight of my burden
It is no longer there
I left it at the cross
It is not mine to bear.

Just one drop of blood
Forgave all my sin
Lord you gave it all
Life could then begin.

I want to feel the oil
Running down my face
I want to feel your mercy
I want to feel your grace.

You satisfy my thirst
My empty heart is gone
I give it all to you
My strength to carry on.
