Blood
Without shed blood, no remission of sin,
A lamb was killed to clothe Adam and Eve,
On sides and lintel, Passover blood streaked,
A token of redemption to the Jews,
Animals' blood shed in Old Testament
for each sin that they did, known or unknown,
As we are sinners, blood has to be shed
To cleanse us all from innate transgressions,
Only one person's blood was untainted,
He took the form of man and on the cross,
Lord Jesus Christ shed his last drop of blood,
Thus, through His pure blood, we are washed from sin,
His blood gives us victory over death
and sin and protection from diseases,
Sealed by His blood - the real covenant.
