we were washed by His blood

We are redeemed by His blood
We are washed by His blood
We are made whole, made clean,
Christ made a way for us
We are whole, we are redeemed…
 
Only with the blood of Christ
His one atoning sacrifice
He made a way for us
He climbed the cross for us
We are whole, we are washed clean…

show me your cards – v2

be thorough, honest,
looking in the mirror
write down your truth
to release your demons…
 
be transparent, honest,
don’t leave out a jot
for God knows already
what is in our hearts…
 
turn your cards over,
every one face up
reveal your strength,
your every weakness…
 
God will start to heal you
when we are open, honest,
for God knows everything already,
long before He climbed the cross…

leave no stone unturned – v2

we must be open, honest,
transparent, courageous,
naming our demons, our fear
our ancient hidden hurts…
 
all of them matter in healing
all of them have power,
uncleared minefield
latent harm awaits…
 
a journey, a process, releasing,
peeling layers of the onion,
leave no stone unturned
bring them into the lights…
 
unhealed wounds, trigger,
defensive measures, reflexes,
all must be spoken
to be fully healed…
 
do not fear, stand before them,
be open, honest, courageous,
bring them all to God
He will heal you…

The blood of atonement

Only in purity enough
in the righteousness of Jesus
the blood of atonement
washes us clean…
 
Only in the unblemished Lamb,
Jesus, our Savior,
can heal, can reclaim me,
to restore me to God…
 
Only through His blood
the blood of atonement,
can I stand before God
righteous and clean…
 
Only through Jesus
the doorway to heaven
may we stand before God
at the end of our days…

Let us draw near – v2

Let us draw near, to Christ,
to the One who understands us,
to the throne of faith, of grace,
let us draw near to sit,
at the feet of the risen Christ…
 
Oh God, You call each of us,
to walk in Your ways, Your light,
let us draw near, to drink,
to be empty, to be filled
from the cup of eternal life…
 
Let us draw near, to Christ,
to the One who understands us,
as risen people of faith, of hope,
let us draw near to sit,
at the feet of the risen Christ…

Let us draw near to God

Oh God, you call us,
to live within the body,
let us draw near to God,
and to one another…
 
Let us draw near
to the throne of faith, of grace,
let us draw near, to sit,
at the feet of the risen Christ…
 
Oh God, You call us,
to walk in Your ways, Your light,
let us draw near, to drink,
of the cup of eternal life…
 
Let us draw near,
as risen people of faith, of hope,
let us draw near, to sit,
at the feet of the risen Christ…

A Covenant of Blood – v3

One sacrifice for all time,
a covenant of blood,
giving His life for our lives,
raising us from the dead…
 
Our High Priest entering
the Holy of Holies
laying down His own life
that we would be righteous…
 
One life for all lives,
the choice God made for us,
becoming our sin sacrifice,
raising us from the dead…

Draw near to God – v2

Draw near to God, to our Father,
enter His courts with thanksgiving,
for Christ has torn the curtain forever,
We are washed in His blood…
 
Draw near to God, to our Father,
as a redeemed people, a nation,
Enter the Holy of Holies, boldly,
the throne room of Almighty God…
 
Draw near to God, to our Father,
enter His courts with thanksgiving,
for Christ has torn the curtain forever,
We are washed in His blood…

We are made Perfect – v3

We are made perfect,
we are made holy,
by the one sacrifice of Christ,
our High Priest dying,
risen, ascending, seated,
at the right hand of God…
 
We are made perfect,
we are redeemed from death,
by Christ’s choice to sacrifice,
to lay down His life, one sacrifice,
the perfect unblemished lamb,
One life, to save the world…

One Sacrifice – 3 – v2

The Priest entered
the Holy of Holies
the unblemished lamb
this Priest climbed the cross
to become our Sacrifice…
 
One Sacrifice, Christ,
the unblemished lamb,
the one Last Sacrifice
this one Sacrifice enough
to wash the world clean…
