In the Shelter of His Blood
Redeemed in Paradise: Finding Refuge in His Blood
Lyrics
Jesus on the cross
Jesus crucified on the cross
And two thieves hung by his side
Two thieves hung beside Jesus
One of them cried save yourself
One thief mocks Jesus, urging him to save himself
And us if you're the Christ
Asking Jesus to save them if he is the Christ
Then the other turned to Jesus
The other thief turns to Jesus and humbly pleads
And made this humble plea
Expresses a humble plea to be remembered when Jesus enters his kingdom
Lord when you come into your kingdom
The plea is for remembrance when Jesus establishes his kingdom
Please remember me
A request for Jesus to remember the penitent thief
And then he passed from death to life
The repentant thief passes from death to life
And woke up in paradise
Finds himself in paradise after death
Dressed in a robe of white
Clothed in a white robe, symbolizing purity
Washed in that cleansing flood
Cleansed through a symbolic cleansing flood
And sang a song that no angel sings
Sings a unique song, not sung by angels
Thank God I've been redeemed
Expresses gratitude for redemption
I'm safe with every sin beneath
Feels secure with all sins forgiven under the shelter of Jesus' blood
The shelter of His blood
Emphasizes safety through the protection of Jesus' blood
Now I won't have to worry
Assurance that there's no need to worry about death
When death comes calling me
Confidence in facing death because of trust in Jesus' sacrifice
Cause I trust the son and what He's done
Belief in the redemptive work of Jesus on Calvary
For me on Calvary
Trusting in the Son's work for personal salvation
Now His Spirit lives within me
The Holy Spirit now resides within the believer
And with His blood applied
Believer is covered by the blood of Jesus
I’ll have no fear cause He’ll be near
No fear as Jesus will be near during challenges, including crossing the Jordan River
When I cross old Jordan’s tide
Confidence in God's presence during life's journeys
'Cause then I’ll pass from death to life
Anticipation of passing from death to life
And wake up in Paradise
Expectation of waking up in paradise after death
Dressed in a robe of white
Clothed in purity and righteousness
Washed in that cleansing flood
Symbolic cleansing through the redemptive flood
And sing a song that no angel sings
Singing a unique song of gratitude and redemption
Thank God I've been redeemed
Expressing thanks for being redeemed by God
I'm safe with every sin beneath
Feeling secure with sins forgiven under Jesus' blood
The shelter of His blood
Reiterating safety under the shelter of Jesus' blood
I'm safe with every sin beneath
Confidence in salvation despite past sins
The shelter of His blood
Final affirmation of safety under the protection of Jesus' blood
