Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Uncaringly, they tossed the garment.

across his weakened form, and his blood pressure fell deathly low as the crowds began to swarm.

They forced him to carry his cross uphill, as his face they punched and smacked.

while the splinters from the crisscross beam dug deep into his back.

Through lack of sleep and dehydration, his tongue began to swell.

and weakened by his loss of blood, this prophet teacher fell.

When he did, some blood splattered on a man named Simon Shue.

And as he bent to wipe it off, the prophet looked and said, Simon.

This blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart.

This blood can give you access.

To the very throne of God And it still can go the distance Through the pain to where you are

This blood is for you.

The blood of the Lamb.

Then they pounded a spike from the bones in his wrists, bursting arteries and veins.

through an agony and torment that never a soul shall find.

He tilts his face towards heaven with full control of his mind.

And as he gave his life,

For those lost in sin, he was saying, this blood is.

for you.

And this blood can save the soul

Heal the sick, mend the heart.

This blood can give you access to the very throne of God.

And it still can go the distance through the pain to where you are.

This blood is for you If you're lost and alone and your mind is confused This blood is for you

If you feel like you have been hurt and abused, this blood is for you.

The atoning, cleansing blood of the Lamb.

This blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart.

This blood can give you access to the very throne of God.

And it still can go the distance through the pain to where you are.

This blood is for you.

The blood of the lamb.

This blood is the oath.

The blood of the Lord.

Oh, yeah.
