Symbol of Wrath and Love.
Blood is the color the Lord’s cross ;
The cross of his curse,
The curse of his destiny,
The destiny of guilt,
The guilt of His people
For love He carried the weight of sin:
He was lifted in shame for the cursed to see,
Seen that the ship of death may sink
In the ocean of his blood; the red sea.
Love is the symbol of His cross;
The cross on the highway,
The highway unto the golden gate,
The gate of his kingdom,
The kingdom of His glory.
The struggle and stripes that broke His jaws,
The blood and tears that borne our sinful cost
The chains that bound His hands without cause
Will be enthroned at last to justify the just.
Blood is the color of His rod:
The rod of His wrath,
The wrath of His sacrifice,
The sacrifice for the lost,
The lost that remain lost.
The rugged rod God reserved and painted with flame
The fiery furnace He framed with chain,
The mire where the fallen fathers lie with shame
At last will be the son of perdition’s gain.
