He was a sinless substitute. He was the Lamb of God! He was a stain-free sacrifice. An offering to God! |
|
(d) |
Jesus ransomed himself for us. Because of him, we’re free! Christ’s holy blood paid the ransom. We slaves can now be free! |
|
(e) |
Jesus died for humanity. He died for you and me! God’s only Son died for mankind. Despite we’re not worthy! |
|

He reconciles us to our God. His blood justifies us! His sacrifice reconciles us. His blood sanctifies us! |
|
(g) |
We’re redeemed through his holy blood. We’re washed clean in his blood! His shed blood removes mankind’s sins. Made sinless through his blood! |
|
