HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:"

1 Peter 1:18, 19
King James Version

D. C. Addison wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "BLOOD-BOUGHT". The words in this hymn bring tears to my eyes to think that Jesus loves us so much. Thank God for the cleansing atoning blood that Jesus shed for our sins so we can be saved.

"I have a home at last, ’Twas bought by blood divine, Safe from the stormy blast, And the blest title mine. Blood paid for every stone, For roof, and nail and door; There death is never known, But life for evermore.

These emblems mark the wall— The cross, the nails, the spear; Five bleeding wounds in all Show me the title clear. On Calvary ’twas paid, Each drop to Justice due; And Love divine there laid The price for me and you.

Blood-bought, I stand secure, Since Jesus died for me; Blood-bought, redemption sure, If I but cling to Thee. Washed in this blood divine, In glory to appear; Like Him forever shine, His welcome voice to hear."

Another heart touching and inspiring hymn that always brings tears of happiness to me is "What a Day That Will Be". Thank God that one day we will see Jesus face to face.

"What a day that will be, When my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand, And leads me through the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be.

There'll be no sorrow there, No more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no more pain, No more parting over there; But forever I will be, With the One who died for me, What a day, glorious day that will be."

I love You so much, dear Jesus. Thank You for all You have done for me.
