Filthy Stains
With Blood Comes Cleansing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sin of the world was placed upon Him
Leaving our filthy stains
His holy body was placed in the earth
For three days and three nights

He descended low into the earth
The place where spirits were held
He took the keys of hell and death
Plans of the enemy failed

Into hell and back again
Capturing captivity
Into hell and back again
Openly

The battle has been won
The battle has been won

The tomb is empty
He's alive
The tomb is empty
He's alive

He ascended on high
He ascended on high

Arisen from the grave now we all can be saved
The price for sin is now paid




Arisen from the grave now we all can be saved
The price for sin is now paid
