Bought By Blood

In vain we seek for peace with God by methods of our own:

Jesus, there's nothing but your blood can bring us near the throne.

You have redeemed our souls with blood, and broke the prisoners chains;

You made us kings and priests to God, and with you we shall reign.

Justice upon a dreadful throne Maintains the rights of God;

While Mercy sends her pardons down, bought with a Savior's blood.

Our souls he washes in his blood, and cleanses every stain;

The Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain.

Chorus:

So now Immortal glory to God the Son belongs

Bought by Blood shall ever be our neverending song

Lord, cleanse our souls from every sin by our Redeemer's blood;

Now let our flesh and soul commend the honors of our God!

He bought our lives with blood. This is why God's Son came down

Now his own blood hides all our sins, and guilt no more is found.

Blest be the Lamb, my dearest Lord, Who bought me with his blood,

And quenched his Father's flaming sword In his own vital flood.

It cost him death to buy our souls and for sins to atone,

And all the  joys he gives were bought with agonies unknown.

The great compassion of our God like a mighty river rolls;

Here peace and pardon bought with blood Is food for dying souls.

Chorus:

So now Immortal glory to God the Son belongs

Bought by Blood shall ever be our neverending song

Lord, cleanse our souls from every sin by our Redeemer's blood;

Now let our flesh and soul commend the honors of our God!
