[Intro] (Scratchy audio crackle, heavy room noise) (Slow, plucking clawhammer banjo and a solitary rustic fiddle scrape) [Verse 1] (Raw, unpolished mountain vocal, simple banjo picking) Is your heart feeling lighter? Did you let the shadows go? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Did you drop what was heavy? Are you glowing like the snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? [Pre-Chorus] (Foot-stomping rhythm begins, fiddle joins in) Tell me, can you breathe now? Tell me, can you fly? If you found your freedom, throw your hands up high! [Chorus] (Lively string band, rough family harmonies) I am washed, yes I’m washed, in the blood of the lamb Brand new, breakthrough, look at who I am! Bright like the snow, glowing head to toe Washed in the blood of the lamb — let’s go! [Verse 2] (Stripped back, just thumping washtub bass and vocal) Is there room in your heart for the stranger at your door? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Did you tear down the fences you were hiding behind before? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? [Fast Talking Blues Verse] (Fast, rhythmic spoken ramble, frantic banjo picking) Yo — ask me how I’m shining, ask me how I’m free Blood of the lamb made a brand new me Are you washed? Are you washed? Go and ask around Took everything that weighed me and I laid it on the ground Are you healed? Are you whole? Did you make it through the storm? Opened up my arms to the world, keeping every heart warm No walls, no lines, one family, one plan Say it loud: I’m washed in the blood of the lamb! [Fiddle and Banjo Breakdown] (Energetic, foot-stomping Appalachian fiddle and banjo solo) [Bridge] (Acapella, heavy boot stomps and hand claps) (Call and response) (Are you washed?) I am washed! (Are you new?) Through and through! (Are you free?) Finally! (Banjo and fiddle kick back in) Washed in the blood of the lamb! [Final Chorus] (Maximum acoustic energy, joyous mountain harmony) I am washed, yes I’m washed, in the blood of the lamb Brand new, breakthrough, look at who I am! Bright like the snow, love everywhere I go Washed in the blood of the lamb — one more time, let’s go! [Outro] (Slow, lingering fiddle note) (Heavy foot stomp) Yeah, one more time, let's go! (Fading out into gramophone crackle and room hiss) [End]
