O the blood
There’s a song I listen to often that really draws me back to
Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. I think the lyrics need to be shared and
read along with part of a passage in Hebrews. We often take for granted
the shedding of blood on the cross for the forgiveness of sin. This is
actually a blog I’ve thought of doing for weeks now. If you’ve ever
watched this as a video you have often heard me say it is a mixture of
Christian music and scripture. To start off with I want to show you in my
humble opinion one of the greatest displays of love by God in the whole Bible.
Romans 5:8
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die
for us while we were still sinners.”
There is nothing now or ever that we as humans could do to earn
God’s love and without Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross we would have no hope.
John 14:6
“Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the father except through me.”
O the blood
Crimson love
Price of life's demand
Shameful sin
Placed on Him
The Hope of every man
O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
Savior Son
Holy One
Slain so I can live
See the Lamb
The great I Am
Who takes away my sin
O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
The precious blood of the Lamb
What a sacrifice
That saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
O what love
No greater love
Grace, how can it be
That in my sin
Yes, even then
He shed His blood for me
O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
It was a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Hebrews 9:11-15
“But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to
come He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats
and calves, but through his own blood, he entered the holy place once for all,
having obtained eternal redemption. For
if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who
have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will
the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered Himself without
blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God? For this reason he is the mediator
of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of
the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have
been called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
Jesus paid the price for our sins.
