O The Blood

With the day I have had, I could write a very long, probably semi-entertaining blog about being pregnant. About my crazy, vivid dreams; about my belly which seems to find every opportunity to get a stain on new clothes; and various other annoying or silly things. However, this week, our church's music director introduced a new song to our choir. Before the song was even into the first chorus, I had already bought it on iTunes. By the end of the song I was in tears. I can not get this song out of my head. Nor do I want to. Everytime I sing the words, it pierces my heart. Such beautiful, truthful words. Because I can't seem to get the song off my mind, I'm desperate to share it with you. Therefore, you will simply have to wait to get a goofy blog about my joys of pregnancy. For this blog will be filled with words of what our precious Savior has done for us.

I'm simply going to post these lyrics. The only thing more beautiful than the words of this song, is the music that goes with it. Look it up on youtube. The song is called 'O the Blood' by Gateway Worship. In fact, you could even go a step further and purchase the song on iTunes.

O the Blood
O the blood
Crimson love
Price of life's demand
Shameful sin
Placed on Him
The Hope of every man

O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory

Savior Son
Holy One
Slain so I can live
See the Lamb
The great I Am
Who takes away my sin

O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
The precious blood of the Lamb
What a sacrifice
That saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory

O what love
No greater love
Grace, how can it be
That in my sin
Yes, even then
He shed His blood for me
