God’s liberation of all mankind – v2

The first covenant
was only with one people
the Law defining
the people of God;
A covenant of blood
of the lamb of Passover
the ancient story continuing
to the end of time.

A covenant of blood
of the blood of Jesus
sacrificing himself
atoning for our sins;
Making a way for all
to be in the family
God’s liberation of all mankind
not just one people.

A covenant of blood
with the people of earth
freeing us of the legacy
the yoke of sin;
Offering us a path
a way to salvation
through the gate of Christ
our Lord and Master.
