Blood Of The Covenant
Deliverance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Without the shedding of the Blood
There is no remission of sin
The hour the veil was wrent
That is when it all began
This was not the covenant that was made with our Fathers on Sinai
The Blood of the New Covenant shed for the remission of sin

A man hanging on a tree
His blood gushing from His own flesh
Will you dare commit
Or be another to fall at Satan's hand
The Blood of the Covenant




A testament
A remission of sin

Overall Meaning

This song speaks of the importance of the shedding of blood for the remission of sins. The lyrics refer to the old covenant made with the fathers on Sinai, where animal sacrifices were made for the forgiveness of sins. However, this song reminds us that the shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross is the new and final covenant for the remission of sins. The veil being rent is referencing the tearing of the veil in the temple at the moment of Jesus' death, signifying that access to God was now available to everyone through the sacrifice of Jesus.
