Ransom

Rich, deep, crimson

Blood of Life

From his brow, his face, his back

His hands drip, his feet drain

Precious blood, Lamb's blood of Life

Streaks running the length of his broken body

Broken for you, broken for me

Blood on the ground

In the chamber, in the courtyard

In the courtroom, in the square

On the road to the hill

On the cross

At the foot of the cross

Precious blood, perfect blood

Take communion, brother

This bread, his body

This cup, his blood

Hold out your cup

A stream trickles from his feet

Hold it up, fill your cup

Blood of life, everlasting life

Drink, drink long and deep

Drink for now, drink to the day

The day he will drink with us

The Master of the banquet

Lamb's blood of life

On the doorpost, on the mercy seat

In your heart, in your arteries

Drink to the Lamb who was slain

Drink of the Lamb who was slain

Worthy to receive glory

Returning as the Lion

Judge of all the earth

Blood, blood, Life is in the blood

Precious blood shed for me

Precious blood shed for you
