NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD
WILL WASH AWAY YOUR SINS
NO OTHER POWER
OR
CLEANSING AGENT
CAN MAKE YOU
CLEAN AND RIGHT
IN
MY EYES

YOU STRIVE, CHURCH-GOERS
TO MEET THE CRITERIA
SET BEFORE YOU
BY YOUR CHURCH
AND ITS CREED
HIDE YOUR SIN
YOUR ERRANT DESIRES
YOU DO APPEAR “GOOD”
BUT “GOOD” IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

STRUGGLE TO ABIDE
TO KNOW MY TOUCH
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
IF YOU WERE CLEAN
IF YOUR WERE RIGHTEOUS
BY MY BLOOD COVERING
I WOULD ABIDE
WITHIN YOU

THE NIGHTS ARE LONG
THE HORROR APPROACHES
AND DWELLS IN YOUR TENTS
THE FEAR IS UNBEARABLE, AT TIMES
WHAT IS YOUR ARMOR TO FIGHT THIS WAR
TO PROTECT YOURSELVES
FROM THE DESTROYER?

ONLY THE BLOOD
MY BLOOD SHED FOR YOU
CAN WIN THE WAR

ARE YOU CLEANSED
THROUGH AND THROUGH
OR
SIMPLY
WHITE-WASHED?

I KNOW
I KNOW YOUR CONDITION
COME AND BE CLEANSED
BY MY BLOOD
SO THAT YOU MAY HEAR
MY VOICE
TELLING YOU WHICH WAY TO GO
SHARING WITH YOU
MY PLANS
MY HOPES
MY DESIRES
MY LOVE FOR YOU

I AM NOT TO BE A STRANGER TO YOU
BUT YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND
YOUR LONGING DESIRE
BUT YOU WILL KEEP ME AT A DISTANCE
AND VICE VERSA
UNTIL
MY BLOOD FLOWS THROUGH YOU
AND CLEANSES YOU
FROM ALL THAT KEEPS
OUR HEARTS APART

COME
BE CLEANSED
ALL HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE
