Only Your Blood is Enough...

No 
bleeding
 bird, 
no 
bleeding 
beast
 
No
 hyssop 
branch, 
no 
priest
 
No 
running 
brook, 
no 
flood, 
no 
sea

Can 
wash 
away 
this 
stain 
from
 me.

For only your blood is enough to cover my sin.
For only your blood is enough to cover me.



I know I have talked about the band Sojourn several times and their wonderful album entitled "Over The Grave," so forgive me for doing so again.  However, I can't get these powerful and thought-provoking words out of my head today.  Which is fine with me!  I pray they strike your heart like they have mine.

Reading through the Old Testament laws about sacrifices and offerings helps this ring ever more true.  Praise God that we are free to come to Him without a priest, a bird, a lamb to sacrifice.


The Law demands a perfect heart but I'm defiled in every part.
For only your blood is enough to cover my sin.
For only your blood is enough to cover me.

Thank you, Father, that my future isn't dependent on what I contribute.  I'd be hopeless.
