Song: There Is Power in the Blood
Lewis E. Jones, 1865-1936
1. Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o'er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood.
Chorus:
There is power, power, Wonder-working power,
In the blood of the lamb;
There is power, power, Wonder-working power,
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
2. Would you do services for Jesus your King?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There's wonderful power in the blood.
Hebrews 12:24
NCV: You have come to Jesus, the One who brought
the new agreement from God to his people, and you
have come to the sprinkled blood that has a better
message than the blood of Abel.
[sprinkled blood=The blood of Jesus' death]
[Abel=Genesis 4:8]
AMP: And to Jesus, the Mediator--Go-between, Agent--
of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which
speaks [of mercy] a better and nobler and more gracious
message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for
vengeance]. [Gen.4:10.]
KJV: And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel.
Quote from "The Blood Speaks" by Larry Huggins
Jesus said, "Therefore doth my Father love me, because
I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man
taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself" (John 10:
17,18). He told Pontius Pilate, "Thou couldest have no
power at all against me, except it were given thee from
above" (John 19:11). On the cross He said, "It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost" (John 19:30).
This doesn't say He died; it says He gave up the ghost. Man
could not have killed Jesus. There was no way humanity could
have killed our Lord. He had so much divine life in Him that
He had not willingly given up, He could not have been killed.
