YET TO BE # 296
Oh, Lord, with praise and joy, I give thanks.
I do not deserve thy goodness.
I live in fear and anxiety about things I cannot control.
Yet, when I cry to thee and call upon thy name, I feel a peace that surrounds me;
I breathe and move forward.
Not knowing what will happen or where I should go.
But belief inhabits my heart, and I trust thee.
So, I give thanks.
Remembering Jesus…
Behold the Lamb, crowned with glory and honor.
The true Passover Lamb who gave himself so that we could be redeemed to God.
Redemption comes through the blood, his precious blood.
Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.
It is by his blood that we are washed. We are cleansed and brought back to God in favor.
God sees the blood of His son and passed over in judgment.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Reference verses: John 1: 29, 1 Corinthians 11: 23 to 26, Ephesians 1: 7, Hebrews 1 and Hebrews 10.
