Boldness by the Blood

"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" (Leviticus 17:11).  "The redemption of their soul is precious... But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave" (Psalm 49:8,15).  "The righteous hath hope in his death" (Proverbs 14:32).  "Having... boldness... by the blood of Jesus, let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised" (Hebrews 10:19,23). 

There is a boldness in the hearts

Of those who trust in Christ alone

With righteousness that God imparts

By blood redemption of His own. 

As in the days of Noah's flood

When in the ark was life and favor,

We find our refuge in the blood

Of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. 

As in the blood is life and breath

(And to this rule, there's no exemption),

Our boldness and our hope in death

Is by the blood of Christ's redemption. 

Our boldness by Your blood, O Lord,

Now rests on promises You gave. 

Your spotless life which You outpoured

Has robbed the terror from the grave.
