There is life in the blood of the Lamb who was slain
There is power, there is power in His name
There is love pouring out of the wounds that were made
Pouring out, pouring over our shame

So praise the God who saves
Praise the God who bled
Praise the God who was nailed to a tree
And wore our sins upon His head

There is truth in His body, raised that third day
There is joy in a stone rolled away
There is hope pouring out of the tomb where He lay
Pouring out, pouring over the grave

So praise the God who saves
Praise the God who bled
Praise the God who was nailed to a tree
And wore our sins upon His head

For He lives that we too might live
And He loves that we might also love
And know the glory of God above

There is life in the blood of the Lamb who was slain
There is power, there is power in His name



Behind the Song:
'This was written in reaction to a destructive trend in some modern churches to remove the crucifixion and references to the blood of Christ as necessary for salvation from Scripture and hymns, on the grounds that a loving God would not require such a barbaric act to save His people. While it was indeed barbaric, it is the foundation of our faith and must never be forgotten. If Christ be not raised from the dead, what hope could we possibly have?' - Caedmon's Call
