I was healed by his blood
Free I walk by his blood
I am different from what I was before
Grace' to my Father's grace
I was healed by his blood
Free I walk by his blood
I am different from what I was before
Grace' to my Father's grace

[Post-Chorus]
No need to fear, He takes care of me
By His power He gives me life
No need to fear, He takes care of me
With His power He gives me life
