[00:02.29]This Blood
[00:23.97]Violently they grabbed his arms,
[00:27.55]As they tightly strapped each wrist,
[00:30.28]With a hellish look stood a strong armed soldier,
[00:33.84]Whip clenched in his fist,
[00:35.62]Laced with chips of bone they beat him hard,
[00:38.42]From his shoulders to his feet,
[00:42.08]And it sliced right through his olive skin,
[00:44.77]Just like razors through a sheet,
[00:49.24]Countless times the blood splattered,
[00:51.06]As each in-human lash was given,
[00:54.75]Several times his knees gave way,
[00:58.34]As his flesh just hung like rivets
[01:01.00]And surprisingly he turned his head,
[01:04.66]Though the words he used were few,
[01:07.32]The soldiers face turned pale,
[01:12.77]When he said "This blood is for you",
[01:19.94]Uncaringly they tossed a garment,
[01:23.68]Across his weakened form,
[01:25.41]And his blood pressure fell deathly low,
[01:30.84]As the crowds began to swarm,
[01:31.72]They forced him to carry his cross up-hill,
[01:34.41]As his face they punched and smacked
[01:38.96]All the splinters from the criss crossed beam dug deep into his back
[01:43.46]Through lack of sleep and dehydration,
[01:47.15]His tongue began to swell,
[01:50.71]And weakened by his loss of blood,
[01:53.47]This prophet-teacher fell,
[01:57.02]When he did some blood splattered
[01:59.79]On a man named Simons shoe,
[02:03.33]As he bent to wipe it off,
[02:06.12]The prophet looked and said
[02:07.07]"Simon this blood is for you",
[02:16.09]This blood can save the soul,
[02:17.80]Heal the sick, mend the heart,
[02:20.51]This blood can give you access,
[02:24.13]To the very throne of God,
[02:26.82]And it still can go the distance,
[02:30.50]From the pain to where you are,
[02:34.19]This blood is for you,
[02:38.66]The blood of the lamb,
[02:46.76]Then they pounded a spike,
[02:48.54]Through the bones in his wrists,
[02:50.41]Bursting arteries, and veins
[02:53.17]And as they dropped the cross in the hole they dug
[02:55.81]His body convulsed with pain
[02:59.42]Through the agony and torment
[03:02.14]That never a soul shall find
[03:04.84]He tilts his face towards heaven
[03:08.41]With full control of his mind
[03:11.15]With more love then any human heard
[03:14.88]Before that time or since
[03:16.63]He made a statement that to this day
[03:20.26]Makes the strongest skeptic wince,
[03:22.95]He cried "Father, God forgive them for they not what they do."
[03:28.39]And as he gave his life for those lost in sin
[03:32.82]He was saying
[03:34.66]"This blood is for you!"
[03:41.87]This blood can save the soul,
[03:44.55]Heal the sick, mend the heart,
[03:48.26]This blood can give you access,
[03:51.80]To the very throne of God,
[03:54.57]And it still can go the distance,
[03:58.13]From the pain to where you are,
[04:00.80]This blood is for you,
[04:04.47](If you're lost and alone, and your mind is confused)
[04:06.25]This blood is for you,
[04:09.92](If you feel like you have been hurt and abused)
[04:13.50]This blood is for you,
[04:17.15]The Atoning cleansing blood of the Lamb
[04:26.12]This blood can save the soul,
[04:28.87]Heal the sick, mend the heart,
[04:31.51]This blood can give you access,
[04:36.06]To the very throne of God,
[04:38.79]And it still can go the distance,
[04:42.40]From the pain to where you are,
[04:45.17]This blood is for you,
[04:50.50]The blood of the lamb,
[04:58.63]This Blood is for you,
[05:05.01]The Blood of the Lamb.
