Blood and water poured from Christ’s side
In order that we might abide
In Jesus and escape God’s wrath
Led by His Spirit in the path
That saints throughout the ages trod
In order that a loving God
Might save us from eternal Hell
And let us drink from His deep well
Of blood and water poured on the earth
To consummate mankind’s new birth
On Calvary the day Christ died
Blood mixed with water poured from His side

Christian why are you so forlorn
Don’t you know that you were born
Of God above and you are blessed
With His Spirit you’re possessed
Are you still carrying guilt and shame
God put on Christ your sin and blame
You are his prize, his love, his bride
Forever with him you’ll abide
Do all life’s cares make you dismay
Cast them all on Christ today
His thoughts towards you none can number
God above wont sleep or slumber
Do you think that God would lie
His Son hung on a cross to die
For evil men in their guilty state
Of pride, greed, lust and hate

Why did God leave His throne
To come to earth to make his home
He left His glory up above
Took human form to show His love
To mankind who hated Him
He willingly took all their sin
The glorious crown that He had worn
He traded for a wreath of thorns
The abominations of men’s acts
God took and laid upon Christ’s back
To show to us His awesome grace
He let men spit into His face
They scourged his back and hit his head
Beat Him til He was almost dead
On Calvary He was crucified
And forgave mankind before He died
Now we can boldly go to His throne

On one day many years ago
To the cross God’s Son did go
On a dreadful hill called Calvary
He died to free humanity
Man nailed Him to a gruesome tree
And with that act saved you and me
From a horrible eternal grave
With a broken heart God’s Son he gave
To bleed and die in that wretched place
Causing God to hide his face
And separate Himself from Christ
Who paid the very highest price
His holy precious blood he shed
To bring mankind back from the dead
And with His great and glorious plan
God showed His wondrous love for man

Can you hear Him, He’s whispering
Come back to me, turn from your sin
There’s no iniquity that’s so great
That Jesus’ blood can’t expiate
I’ll forgive you then my child you’ll be
The price was paid at Calvary
The cost was great; my only Son
Return to me beloved one
For you are worth the price I paid
Upon my Son your sins were laid
For you my love my heart does yearn
Please come back, please return
If you only knew how I long for you
What I wish to give and want to do
To give you a new heart of flesh
And breathe my spirit into you afresh

There is a place I’ve been told
That bears the richest vein of gold
Where truth and wisdom do abound
It’s in God’s word it can be found
The word of God is quick and sure
And has the power to make one pure
It’s by God’s Spirit the sword is swung
All in its path will be undone
The sick the blind the lame are healed
When the word of God; Christ’s sword He wields
It has the power to make one whole
And has the truth to heal the soul
Just believe his word, it’s true you’ll find
It’s not of man but of God divine.

Do you know the love of Christ
Who paid for you the highest price
With suffering and agony
He bled upon a rugged tree
Men cursed and spit into his face
He died for you, he took your place
He did it willingly for you
To prove his love and start a new
Relationship with sinful man
For this has always been his plan
He woos you with his awesome love
God sent his wrath from up above
Upon his own beloved son
Who of God’s plan said
“It is done”

The coat of many colors
Was a story I was told
About a young boy named Joseph
Who for jealousy was sold
Into slavery by his brothers
And brought to a distant land
Where pyramids and idols stood
In a land of palms and sand
The years he spent were lonely ones
Away from Jacob’s tent
Not knowing it was in God’s plan
To Egypt he be sent
To save the whole world from a drought
And the famine that would be
And bring his family to the land
To fulfill the prophecy
Four hundred years the Israelites
Would serve on Egyptian soil
Until a man named Moses came

Do you know the God of Abraham
El Elyon, the great I Am
He’s called Yahshua and he can save
The spoils of Egypt Pharaoh gave
By El Shaddai he’s know to some
The nurturing God, the tender one
David’s precious Yah of Psalm
Of Gilead the Healing Balm
The Rose of Sharon wont depart
If you let this rose grow in your heart
The Rock of Ages he’s always been
Who came to earth to bear our sin
Our guilt our shame, he took our loss
And carried it upon his cross
He gave us hope and peace and love
He restored our friendship with God above
The Great Shepherd has many names

Is there anything too hard for Him
The God that made an axe head swim
Who healed a blind man with some mud
And made the rod of Aaron bud
He led His people through the sea
And drowned the pursuing enemy
He fed five thousand with a prayer
And caused the Holy Veil to tear
Because of Jesus we enter in
The Most Holy Place without sin
And meet with Yahweh face to face
Due to Christ’s abundant grace
Of all the miracles God has done
This surely is the greatest one.
