O The Blood - Gateway Worship

O The Blood - Gateway Worship / Kari Jobe

I wanted to use the live version, but it wouldn't let me. So this will have to do.

O the blood
Crimson love
Price of lifes demand
Shameful sin
Placed on Him
The Hope of every man

 O the blood of Jesus washes me
O the blood of Jesus shed for me
What a sacrifice that saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory 

Savior Son
Holy One
Slain so I can live
See the Lamb
The great I Am
Who takes away my sin

O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
O the blood of the Lamb
The precious blood of the Lamb
What a sacrifice
That saved my life
Yes, the blood, it is my victory
 

 O what love
No greater love
Grace, how can it be
That in my sin
Yes, even then
He shed His blood for me 

I came across this song probably a year or so ago, but I had forgotten about it until just the other day when it played on my computer. I find this is an extremely powerful song with such amazing truth filled lyrics. The words that really get me are: "O what love, no greater love, Grace, how can it be. That in my sin, yes, even then, He shed His blood for me." Seriously... HE SHED HIS BLOOD FOR ME!!!

I was a sinner, and I have to admit, I still am. I am not perfect. Although we try our best to steer away from sin, we still find we do. But God still forgives us, and He still sent His son to die for us. Jesus still shed His blood for us. Just the thought of that makes me so thankful, I could just lie face down and worship Him all night. I do not deserve His grace, but He gives it anyway. And He has given it to all of us, not just me, but everyone. 

Jesus sacrificed Himself for me. Just say that to yourself a few times and feel the strength in those words. This really just lifts my spirits and makes me want to fight in my Christian walk. I want to be the best person that I can be for Him. I want others to feel what I have felt, I want them to understand the power of Christ. Honestly, I get goosebumps just thinking about it all. 

One last thing that I feel I need to just say...

I LOVE JESUS!!!

Nobody can ever take away what He has done for me!

Thankful for: Jesus!

Right now, after listening to that amazing song, I just want to be thankful for Jesus, because if it wasn't for Him, I possibly wouldn't be here right now, and I definitely would not be living the life that I am living. THANK YOU JESUS!!!
