Because only the blood of Christ can wash us white as snow...
Isa.1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
May we, believers, rejoice every day
as we reflect on God's goodness and mercy,
but all the more as we approach Easter season,
and meditate on what it cost God to purchase
the gift of salvation, and what it means for all who
believe and receive it!
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jesus!
...and you are to give him the name Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.” Matt.1:21
Because God never forsakes us, because His word is true
We may go forth with joy each day, because, though all else fails
Nothing can sway God's promises; His steadfast word prevails
Because, though all armies amass, our God is greater yet
We may go forth with heart content in what The Lord has done;
For redemption’s requirement, God gave his only Son
Because only the blood of Christ can wash us white as snow
Because God rich in mercy sacrificed himself to show
How much He loves us; thus, we may go forth in victory
Armed with the power of the cross; ‘not I but Christ in me’
Because the love and word of God abide, faithful and true
And everlasting; faith will not fear what mere man can do
Because, not man, but God is bringing us through everything
We may go forth with singing, because He is Lord and King
