Bleeding Song
Nothing else for Sin atones
But the shedding of God's blood alone
No other sacrifice
No one can pay the price
Forgiveness is what we all need
For this hope alone our God did bleed.
The perfect covering
To overcome our sin
In this alone we find our rest
For by the blood we are found blessed.
Oh blessed blood that cleanses me
Unworthy sinner that I am
This blood alone shall be my plea
The blessed blood of the Holy lamb.
The blessed One who bled and died
And by God's wrath was crucified
Appease, propitiate, atone
For you must save and you alone.
By His wounds we are healed
The blessed blood His grace revealed
For mercy flows from god's own veins
The gift he bestows
His grace attains
And bleeding blessing on His own
He covers us in the glory he has shown.
So by the blood we are made whole
This blood alone saves sinsick
souls
By the blood we are made new
Wine of forgiveness,Wine
that is true
Oh blessed blood, That washes clean
Oh crimson flood Shed for our good
Oh blessed blood
The blessed blood redeems.
