Thru the Blood of Jesus

 

It’s thru the power in the blood of Jesus

By the cross is how He see’s us

The world is who He loves

Even the rich who hang out in clubs

 

It’s was me who had ears to hear

In my heart the message was so clear

Now I know that freedom is real

Come on satan, my soul you can’t steal

 

The image of christ is who I want to be

So the Light of Christ is who you’ll see

If you’re broken and lost

Know that, for you, Christ died on that cross

 

There’s freedom to be had by breaking every chain

He’ll wipe all your tears, then clean all your stains

So if you’re down and out, living on the street

Drop to your knees, Jesus is who you will meet

 

Now He cleaned you up, so much that you will glow

Stay in Gods Word, it’s how you will grow

HE washed their feet, as an example to serve

He gave you His Word, so in it you won’t swerve

 

On the cross Christ took our sin

Now I can say Christ is my friend

So if you’re living against God’s law

Please answer when Christ calls

 

So when you reach up and grab God’s hand

Then you realize that it was God’s plan

It’s God’s love that you’re called to give

Stand firm, so it’s the Gospel you will live.

2 Corinthians 5:6-7

So we are alwaysof good courage. We know thatwhile we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith not by sight.

Walking By Faith

 

We walk by faith not by sight

We are called out of darkness, into His light

We have not a clue, God sees who we are

He knows that we’re evil, without a pure heart

To pray is the answer, asking for Salvation to come

Christ died on the cross, for all, not just some

He sent us His Spirit, to be our true guide

He will never leave us, He’s always by our side

To walk with Jesus is a blessing for sure

To believe in Jesus is sin’s only cure

Jesus is the answer to walking by faith

He is the answer, our penalty’s been waved

So to walk by faith, not by sight

Perseverance is the answer 

To standing firm in this fight

Colossians 2:11-12

In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 13. having been buried with him in baptisim, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

 

By His Blood

 

Christ paid a debt

Man could never pay

He nailed our sin to the cross

By His Blood He made a way

 

Thru His death and resurrection

We are reconciled to our God

Thru the cross He made the way

For God to no longer see our flaws

 

We are circumcised by the Spirit

To believe in Christ’ Holy Name

To believe in Christ in faith

We’ll never be the same

 

We are now a new creation

To walk humbly with our God

Be forever on your guard

For satan points out our flaws

 

In Christ’ Name we persevere

Thru our every trial

In Christ, He is the One

Who carries us every mile

 

We are saved By His Blood

To walk humbly with our God

Please open up your heart

To forever stand in AWE

I’ll Forever Be Your Slave

 

You are Holy, You are Righteous

Thru His Blood is how You see us

Not of works by our hands

It was all Your master plan

 

This is love, this is grace

We’ll forever sing Your Praise

You took our place on the cross

You paid it all though we were lost

 

Your love covered our sin

You pulled us from the mess we’re in

Now we’re heirs to Your Throne

How sweet heaven is our home

 

I am free, I’m free at last

To never live my past

I’ll forever walk Your way

Then testify to Your Grace

 

It was love at first sight

Now I’m living in Your Light

I’m free to forever live

Service to You I must give

 

I’ll forever be Your slave

Since You helped me over-come the grave

I’ll testify to Your grace

As I walk with You in this race

When I was lost and broken hearted

You spoke life into me and it started

You gave me a life that’s brand new

Where I had to depend on You

I came to You with all I had

To me that seemed all so sad

I’m learning to trust Your voice

Where in my head, its full of noise

Then You filled me full of grace

Then strength to run this race

Grace was all I ever needed

That is how You interceded

It was love at first sight

You knew me and my plight

Now I have forgiveness for all my sins

Even the mess I was currently in

You gave me courage to stand strong

In a world where things are so wrong

Now I have Your Spirit that lives inside

I trust Him as my guide

It is Your love that carries me through

In service that looks like You

Today was hopeless

I knew that I was lost

I needed a Savior

The one that hung on the cross

 

It was on that tree

That I first saw Your grace

It was Your power, Your mercy

That let me enter this race

 

I will trust You and trust You

You will help me persevere

When times get tough

You will draw me near

 

It’s You love, yes Your love

That forgives all my sin

With arms stretched wide

Your Spirit lives with

 

Now I have hope

Because Your grace covers me

I’m thankful to God

That You died upon that tree

 

It was the grave

That couldn’t hold you down

When I feel weak

You put me on solid ground

 

It was Your love

That found me when I was lost

Now I’m have a home

Because You died upon that cross

He Called Me By Name

From out of the dark into the light

No longer in fear no longer my plight

I once lived with no hope cover in scars

Locked in a prison chained behind bars

The prison was mostly in my own mind

Out of control the gears started to grind

Billowing smoke from out of my own ears

Grinding and grinding, grinding all the gears

This prison I hosted started with lies

They came from the devil all in disguise

One little lie then two then three

Running amuck chasing after me

I ran, and I ran then I ran to the cross

I found my Savior there He knew I was lost

He extended His hand then called me by name

He taught me how to walk I was no longer lame

I started believing Truth not the old lies

I started believing Jesus not the devil in disguise

The more I believed Jesus the more I found solid ground

The devil can huff and puff, but he can’t blow my house down

I am standing on the promises of my loving God

Who’s love forgives sin and all of my flaws

I gave my life to Jesus, it’s Jesus I serve

Living for Jesus is how I won’t swerve

Freedom In Christ

 

Born as a babe

a Savior is come

To a lost world

where sin they succumb

He came as a Savior

He came as a King

A message to the broken

is what He did bring

He raised the dead

the sick He healed

With a message for hearts

His Word is revealed

He called them out of darkness

in sin they were lost

He obeyed His Father

all the way to the cross

He was beaten and bullied

He was nailed to the tree

He completed Gods plan

by dying for you and me

Redemption was planned

since before the fall

To those that believe

their life has a call

In Jesus we believe

that He conquered the grave

Death couldn’t hold Him

in three days He was raised

Salvation He offers

forgiveness He gives

Freedom in Christ

is how we now life

Nails Times Three

It was Christ on the cross

That tore the veil

He was the ransom for sin

That was sending me to hell

 

Nails times three

He was nailed to the tree

He came with a purpose

Then died at Calvary

 

It is a message with purpose

That will not tickle your ears

It gives sight to the blind

Oh, how I can now hear

 

He won’t leave you alone

He is drawing you near

His message has hope

For all that want to hear

 

He has called you out of darkness

So, you can walk in His light

He’ll give you His strength

To endure thru this fight

 

Our battles are won

When we steady the course

It’s our heart that He wants

But won’t take it by force

 

Will you join this here race

Will you endure to the end

Will you walk with the Lord

As He calls you His friend

Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Christ Broke My Chains

He Set Me Free

 

You broke my chains to set me free

I now have hope because I believe

 

I believe in Jesus, He is the Christ

He is the perfect Lamb that was sacrificed

 

His Blood was spilled on that tree

He died on the cross to set me free

 

He conquered death over the grave

Three days later to life He was raised

 

He ascended to Heaven to sit on His throne

Heaven is the place we now call home

 

He called me out of darkness into the light

He gave me His Spirit to help in this fight

 

When I stumble and when I fall

I know His voice when He calls

 

When I make mistakes and my sin sticks out

He’s always there to show me a different route

 

I want my desires to match His ways

So, on this path I will not stray

 

I now have hope because I believe

Christ Broke My Chains

 He set me Free
