Passover Paradigm

"They shall take to them every man a lamb.... Your lamb shall be without blemish.... And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses.... And the blood shall be a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you" (Exodus 12:3-13). "I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.... Liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" (Revelation 21:6,8).

The Passover calls us by its paradigm
Presenting the Gospel of Christ:
Judgment is coming, so now is the time
To come to the Lamb sacrificed.

Each of the houses where God saw the blood
In the shape of a cross on the door,
Were saved from the judgment that came like a flood,
Destroying like never before.

Our God gives salvation to all who desire
The water of life from His well,
But those who refuse shall take part in the fire,
That's burning forever in hell.

The Passover teaches that there is a way
That we may be sheltered from wrath.
The blood of the Lamb will save us today;
Salvation has no other path.
