1 COR 15:20 “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”

Getting ready for the Feast of Firstfruits, the Day of Resurrection, I chanced upon this song that I wrote years ago, so I re-edited it and added a chorus, but it’s not produced yet. But please listen to my recordings, especially THE LAMB and WERE YOU THERE? on Spotify, Pandora, YouTube and other music outlets under Carolyn Anne Venable.  Blessings! 

THE BLOOD OF HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE

(LOVE PREVAILS)

The iniquities of man lashed cruelly at His skin
While demon hordes of hell foolishly did grin
Yet those horrid wounds upon Christ’s back brought victory
The blood of the perfect sacrifice freed me!

With pain in every step, He climbed up Calvary’s hill
The Lamb surrendered to Love’s selfless will
Into His hands and feet, they drove the iron nails
Yet the blood of the perfect sacrifice prevails!

Love prevails, love prevails,
By the love of His perfect sacrifice, love prevails!
Love never fails, love never fails,
By the love of His perfect sacrifice, love prevails!

“Forgive them, Abba,” though in anguish, Yeshua cried
Then giving up His Ghost, on the cross He died
A soldier’s lance tore open wide the Savior’s side
The blood of the perfect sacrifice gushed for His bride!

They scorned the King of Kings once, with a thorny crown
The blood of the perfect sacrifice flowed down
But He will come again and none can take His crown
Loud hosannas to the King will then resound!

//Will then resound, will then resound,
Loud hosannas to the King will then resound//

Love prevails, love prevails,
By the love of His perfect sacrifice, love prevails!
Love never fails, love never fails,
By the love of His perfect sacrifice, love prevails! LOVE PREVAILS!
