You Washed in the Blood?”
Responsive
Leader: Let us join our voices to praise the spotless
Lamb, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us from sin and death.
All: We, whom He has redeemed, will sing praises
and shout for joy this hour.
Leader: Because in Christ the Lamb we have redemption
through His blood, we have the forgiveness of our sins in accordance with the
riches of His grace.
All: Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the
law by becoming a curse for us.
Leader: Let us praise Him by saying:
All: Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive
power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise! To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
we give worship this hour and forever and ever. Amen.
*Hymn
“The Power of the Cross”
Oh, to see the dawn of
the darkest day
Christ on the road to
Tried by sinful men,
torn and beaten, then
Nailed
to a cross of wood.
CHORUS: This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for
us.
Took the blame, bore the
wrath,
We stand forgiven at the
cross
Oh, to see the pain
written on your face,
Bearing the awesome
weight of sin
Every bitter thought,
every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
CHORUS:
Now the daylight flees, Now the ground beneath
Quakes
as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
dead are raised to life
Finished
the vict’ry cry. CHORUS:
Oh, to see my name
written in the wounds,
For through Your
suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live,
Won through your
selfless love!
This
the power of the cross: Son of God slain for us
What a name, what a
cost!
We stand forgiven at the
cross.
