Blood Count (Live) - Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

As you see me today Once was lost to sin I was as good as dead When the Lord found me He said come the price has been paid Your sins are forgiven through my blood Gave you a new name as I set you free The blood of Jesus Christ The blood of the blameless lamb The blood it cleanse me The blood it rescued me What you see today is the work of the blood Without the shedding of the blood There is no forgiveness Of sin that's God standard So when the devil stood before God's throne To accuse me for all my sins It took Christ to stand in my place He tore his robe to show stripes on his back He was bruised on his hands and his feet And opened my way back to God The blood of Jesus Christ The blood of the blameless lamb The blood it cleanse me The blood it rescued me What you see today is the work of the blood Because of your great work lord We wanna say, thank you oh thank you You came down, thank you Just to lift me up, so I thank you lord You left your throne, Thank you You had me in mind, thank you What you see today is work Nothing but the work of the blood, oh Jesus we adore you We wanna say to you (Thank you) For the blood (Thank you) For my life (Thank you) For your grace (I thank you Lord) For my peace (Thank you) For my joy (Thank you) What you see today is the work of the blood (preaching) What you see today is the work of the blood Work of Jesus on the cross Work of the blood Work of the blood

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's ain.

Feeling fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company Everything's ok The live long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give Just go your way And laugh and play There's joy unknown (Scat) In a mellow tone) Feeling fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company Everything's ok The live long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give Just go your way And laugh and play There's joy unknown

Marie, the dawn is breaking Marie, you'll soon be waking To find you heart is aching A tears, will fall, as you recall The moon in all it's splendor A kiss so very tender The words "Will you surrender To me, Marie?"

Sweet Indian maiden, since first I met you, I can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart. Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling, My heart enthralling, Cherokee. Dreams of summertime, of lover time gone by, Throng my memory so tenderly, and sigh. My Sweet Indian maiden, one day I'll hold you, In my arms fold you, Cherokee.
