My first post was a song inspired in my heart many years ago. This is hot off the press. I was praying in the spirit this morning and got a melody in my heart to which I had to write some appropriate words.
♥
His blood, His life, His love were all lavished upon us! His is the greatest love.
The Love of His Perfect Sacrifice
♥
They scorned the King of Kings then with a thorny crown
The blood of the perfect sacrifice flowed down
But He will come again. No one can take His crown
Loud hosannas to the King will then resound!
Will then resound — to the Lamb for His perfect sacrifice!
Praise Christ!
♥
The iniquities of man lashed cruelly at His skin
While demon hordes of hell foolishly grinned
Yet those horrid wounds upon Christ’s back brought healing
The blood of the perfect sacrifice did win!
Christ did win — by the love of His perfect sacrifice!
Praise Christ!
♥
With pain in every step, He climbed up Calvary’s hill
The Lamb surrendered to Love’s selfless will
Into His hands and feet, they drove the iron nails
Yet the blood of the perfect sacrifice prevails!
Love prevails — By the love of His perfect sacrifice!
Praise Christ!
♥
“Forgive them, Abba!” Though in anguish, Jesus cried.
Then giving up His Ghost, on the cross He died
A soldier’s lance tore open wide the Savior’s side
The blood of the perfect sacrifice gushed for His bride!
For His bride — Oh, the love of His perfect sacrifice!
Praise Christ!

Good song! Songs usually have verses of death followed by verses of triumph, but yours is out of order having the triumphant verses first and ending with his death. I like that – I think it gives a feel of eternal triumph, how Jesus was triumphant before, during, and after his death.
