This Blood
Rita Springer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That cost a life
That paid my way
Death its price
When it flowed
Down from the cross
My sins were gone
My sins forgot
There is a grave
That tried to hide
This precious blood
That gave me life
In three days
He breathed again
And rose to stand in my defense
So I come to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries every tear that falls
So I come to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim that He's coming back for you
This life, this price, this blood, this one
Oh, there is a Blood
Oh, and it sights the blind
It heals the sick
The lonely, finds
Oh, it has the Power
To free the bound
As chains they fall
Upon the ground
So pour it out and
To cleanse my soul
And let its liquid Glory flow
Because it lives
To make me whole
I owe my life
I owe my all
So I come to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries every tear that falls
So I come to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim that he is coming back for you
And so I come to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries every tear that falls
So I come to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim that He's coming back for you
This life
This price
This blood
This wine
This life
This light
This price
This blood
This
So I come to tell you He's alive
To tell you that He dries every tear that falls
So I come to tell you that He saves
To shout and to proclaim that he is coming back for you
This life
This price
This blood
This wine
One more time, this life
This price
This blood
This wine
Thank you, Jesus
