Seven Workings of the Blood

SEVEN WORKINGS OF THE BLOOD Many people hear 'the Blood' But knoweth not its great workings So in this small scoop of poetry I will try to share the seven things That the Blood does for us Not that I have known it all But because I have received A choicy measure of God's grace And pray and seek I will for more For Christ has grace enough to spare. All have sinned and fallen short Of God's glory and divine standard And as written- and very clear The wages of every sin is death So we all were meant to die; God's righteous judgement for our sins But here we see the love of Christ For by His death, God's righteous anger Was satisfied- fully satisfied. The second wondrous thing is this; If we confess that we have sinned And truly ask to be cleansed God is faithful and He is just To forgive us of every sin For the price indeed has been paid. Sin indeed contaminates So when we sin we are stained The Blood of Christ does this to us; It purges us of every sin So that we are without dirt And are righteous just like Him. But we see this often and on That often times when we pray We feel unworthy- guilty conscienced Here, the Blood of Christ is sprinkled On every bit of guilty conscience So we can be confident To approach the throne of grace. But this we know with surety That every thing we do on earth Is recorded in the books of Heaven Here, God Himself is moved To blot out every record of sin Such that there is no book in Heaven Where our sins are recorded. Omniscient is His name And as such, God knows all things So every sin we commit on earth Is registered in God's memory But He, Himself has declared That after blotting out our sins He will forget we ever sinned And will never fish for our sins In His sea of forgotten sins. So after all these things are done We come to the seventh working That been justified by His Blood We will escape His fiery wrath For everyone who refuses to drink Of His cup of loving mercy Will inevitably drink to the full Of God's cup of eternal wrath. So, right now, if you would, Say this prayer and be redeemed "Lord Jesus, I am a sinner I believe You died for me Please forgive me and cleanse my sins Come into my life And make me Your beloved child Thank You for right now You are My Father and loving Saviour In Jesus mighty name I pray Amen!" and indeed Amen!
