The Blessing of the Blotting

"And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels... And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water" (Numbers 5:22,23). "If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee" (Psalm 130:3,4). "The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?" (John 18:11). "And you, being dead in your sins... hath He quickened together with Him, having blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us" (Colossians 2:13,14).

The curses written in the book
For sins we carried out,
Are gone forever! Come and look!
They've all been blotted out!

That bitter water in the verse
That symbolized our cup,
Has blotted out our dreadful curse,
When Jesus drank it up.

If God would mark iniquities,
How great would be our loss!
He blotted out each sin He sees
By dying on the cross!

Thank You, Lord, for what You did
To purge our sins in love,
Which otherwise could not be hid
From holy eyes above.
