Blood
O s c a Lyrics

I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace
I saw a traveler, who had been cleansed of their sins through redemption, walking on the path of righteousness.

Up on the King's great highway, with peaceful shining face
This traveler was walking on the path towards God, with a peaceful, beaming expression.

Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could a fright
The traveler encountered numerous obstacles and challenges along the way, but remained strong and courageous in their faith.

He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light
Despite the hardships, the traveler believed that the path of righteousness was worth pursuing, and found solace in the lightness of their burden.

Palms of victory, crowns of glory
The traveler anticipated being rewarded for their righteous deeds with symbols of success and prestige.

Palms of victory I shall wear
The traveler sang with confident optimism about their eventual triumph and success on their journey towards God.

I saw him in the furnace, he neither doubted nor feared
The traveler was tested and challenged severely, but remained steadfast and resolute in their devotion to their faith.

And in the flames beside him the Son of God appeared
The traveler was not alone in their trials, and found comfort in the presence of Christ during times of struggle.

Though seven times 'twas heated, with all the tempters might
Despite facing numerous obstacles, the traveler never lost their faith or conviction in God's plan for them.

I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife
The traveler persevered through all of life's challenges, emerging triumphant and victorious in the end.

I saw him cross the threshold of God's eternal life
The traveler completed their journey and was welcomed into the afterlife, having lived a life full of devotion, righteousness, and faith.

The crown, the throne the scepter, the name
The traveler expected great rewards and achievements upon reaching God's kingdom in the afterlife.

The stone so white for those who are found in Jesus
The traveler believed that true purity and redemption came from following Jesus' teachings.

The burden it is light
In the end, the traveler found that their journey towards God was not as heavy as they had originally thought and was worth pursuing at all costs.
