37. WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD
-
Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
Died for the sinner; paid all his due;
All who receive Him need never fear;
Yes, He will pass, will pass over you.
Chorus:
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
I will pass, I will pass over you.
-
Chiefest of sinners, Jesus can save,
As He has promised, so will He do;
Oh, sinner, hear Him, trust in His Word,
Then He will pass, will pass over you.
-
Judgment is coming, all will be there,
Who have rejected, who have refused;
Oh, sinner, hasten, let Jesus in,
Then God will pass, will pass over you.
-
Oh, what compassion, oh, boundless love!
Jesus hath power, Jesus is true;
All who believe are safe from the storm,
Oh, He will pass, will pass over you.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
