The Blood that Blesses

"Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain... and by it, he, being dead, yet speaketh.... But ye are come unto... God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel" (Hebrews 11:4, 12:22-24).

Recalling that instance when Abel was slain,
When his blood cried to God from the ground,
His blood then indicted his own brother Cain,
And the verdict of GUILTY was found.

Praise God for the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
That speaks for our justification!
God looks on the blood of the Lamb sacrificed
That says, "There is no condemnation!"

We thank You, O Lord, for the much better things
That the blood of our Savior has spoken
Of grace, of redemption, of blessing He brings,
And healing the heart that is broken!
