Oh the Blood
Redemption's Symphony: Oh the Blood by Mark Sutcliffe
Lyrics
I look towards the road to Calvary
I direct my attention to the path leading to Calvary.
Where Jesus walked my sin and suffering
Reflecting on the journey where Jesus bore my sins and suffering.
From Heavens throne to the earth beneath
From the heavenly throne to the earth, the Savior descended.
The Saviour came and paid the price for me
Jesus Christ came and paid the price for my redemption.
A sinner's death you died upon the cross
You died on the cross in the manner of a sinner's death.
The Father's heart, that I would not be lost
The Father's heart desired that I would not be lost.
A wage in full that none could ever pay
The complete wage for sin, a debt none could pay on their own.
But Jesus Christ, the redeemer made a way
Jesus Christ, the redeemer, made a way for salvation.
Oh the blood, oh the blood of Jesus Christ
The significance of the blood of Jesus Christ.
Oh the blood that cleansed and saved my life
The cleansing and life-saving power of that blood.
Oh the lamb of God slain for the world
The Lamb of God sacrificed for the world.
Oh the cross is my victory
The cross symbolizes victory over sin and death.
An empty cross, behold the empty grave
An empty cross and grave signify the resurrection.
Mercies riches revealed and reclaimed
Mercies riches are revealed and reclaimed by believers.
The chords of death no longer have their hold
The power of death no longer holds believers captive.
Jesus Christ, our risen King forever more
Jesus Christ, our risen King, reigns forever.
Jesus Christ, our risen King forever more
Reaffirmation of Jesus Christ as the eternal risen King.
Oh the blood, oh the blood of Jesus Christ
The significance of the blood of Jesus Christ reiterated.
Oh the blood that cleansed and saved my life
The cleansing and life-saving power of that blood emphasized again.
Oh the lamb of God slain for the world
The Lamb of God sacrificed for the world reiterated.
Oh the cross is my victory
The cross remains a symbol of personal victory over sin.
It is finished, it is done
Repeated affirmation that the work of redemption is finished and the blood of Jesus overcomes.
The blood of Jesus overcomes
-It is finished, it is done
-The blood of Jesus overcomes
-It is finished, it is done
-The blood of Jesus overcomes
-It is finished, it is done
-The blood of Jesus overcomes
-Oh the blood, oh the blood of Jesus Christ
Reiteration of the significance of the blood of Jesus Christ.
Oh the blood that cleansed and saved my life
The cleansing and life-saving power of that blood reaffirmed.
Oh the lamb of God slain for the world
The Lamb of God sacrificed for the world reaffirmed.
Oh the cross is my victory
The cross remains the ultimate symbol of victory.
