Day 46

Saturday, April 19th

He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.

He was beaten so we could be whole.

He was whipped so we could be healed.

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.

We have left God’s paths to follow our own.

Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

(Isaiah 53:5-6 NLT)

In preparation for Easter Sunday tomorrow, take some time to read through these lyrics and listen to this song, making it your prayer.

Thank You Jesus for the Blood – Charity Gayle

I was a wretch, I remember who I was

I was lost, I was blind, I was running out of time

Sin separated, the breach was far too wide

But from the far side of the chasm

You held me in Your sight

So You made a way, across the great divide

Left behind, Heaven's throne, to build it here inside

And there at the cross You paid the debt I owe

Broke my chains, freed my soul, for the first time I had hope

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied

Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my place, laid inside my tomb of sin

You were buried for three days

But then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting and life has no end

For I have been transformed by the blood of the Lamb

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied (thank You, Jesus)

Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

There is nothing stronger

Than the wonder working power of the blood, the blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by our Father through the blood, the blood

There is nothing stronger

Oh, the wonder working power of the blood, the blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by our Father through the blood, the blood

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied

Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

Glory to His name

There to my heart was the blood applied

Glory to His name
