Through blood of sheep, they tried in vain <br />In shame they had to die <br />Eternal life was not to gain <br />The price was far too high <br /> <br />Innocent blood would set man free <br />Would cleanse our filth and shame <br />But none could claim God’s royal decree <br />Until Christ Jesus came <br /> <br />Christ’s blood is not of mortal man <br />But that of God above <br />Pure; to foil the devil’s plan <br />Given in perfect love <br /> <br />Upon the cross, Christ died alone <br />Below, God’s children mourned <br />But now reigns upon the throne <br />In glorious light adorned <br /> <br />Each dropp of blood Christ shed that day <br />God’s power was found within <br />So through His Son God paved the way <br />To free us of our sin <br /> <br />The cost of life has long been paid <br />Through Him alone who could <br />Christ bore it all with no man’s aid <br />And paid with God’s own blood <br /> <br />Blood void of shame, but full of light <br />As only God’s could be <br />The perfect man had won the fight <br />And claimed the victory <br /> <br />The blood of God is yet the same <br />Still strong as on the tree <br />Who drink of it, in Jesus’ name <br />The truth will set them free.<br /><br />Michael P.
