“The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul” (Leviticus 17:11). “O GOD the Lord, the Strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle” (Psalm 140:7). “He keepeth the paths of judgment” (Proverbs 2:8). “I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth” (Revelation 14:6).
There
was a bloody battlefield
Which
took the life of only One:
Yet
by that One our souls are healed,
And
all His foes were thus undone.
The
battlefield was the cross,
Where
precious blood for us was shed
Which
saved us from eternal loss,
And
covered our defenseless head.
Our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Fulfilled
our judgment on that path
When
He for us was sacrificed
Upon
the cross to bear our wrath.
His blood was shed to thus atone
For
souls that He would die to win.
He
fought that battle all alone
To
take away our deadly sin!
Though
angels sometimes will proclaim
The
Gospel in the skies above,
It
was for us our Savior came!
Should
not we now declare His love?
Lord,
thank You for the battle fought
Wherein
Your life was then out-poured,
When
by Your precious blood You bought
Our
souls redeemed as Your reward.
O
Lord, we thank You for salvation
Procured
by precious blood You gave.
We
go forth with the proclamation
That
You, and You alone, can save!
