Wow, I havnt blogged in quite a while. Anyone reading this or following me, my bad! I've been in Vietnam for the month of March.There is something about a country that doesn't have freedom that attracts me. I believe it is because I have found such profound freedom in the Lord that I want to share it with the world. I've been covered in the blood of Jesus, washed white as snow. Since today is Easter, this is the perfect time for me to post this blog. I don't write often (as you can see) but on the balcony the last week of my hostel in Ho Chi Ming City the spirit was moving in my heart, I've been praying for deeper intimacy with him and here is what flowed out onto paper.
Covered in the blood am I
Spotless he sees us, you and I
Out of the womb I came red,
The world wanted me good and dead.
He who was from the start,
Saw my weak little heart.
But an eternal plan,
Had already been put into action for this little man.
My God, who is faithful and just,
Sacrificed his son, it was a must.
This sacrifice was unlike any other
Not only for I, but for my mother as well as my brother
You and I,
As well as every other beating heart under the sky.
At twenty two I came to know the man who is the "King of the Jews"
No longer do I have to sit and kneel in the church "pews"
Jesus Christ, the righteous one came so we can be free,
Yes I said we, you and me.
Now I walk in the light,
But I don't always do what's right.
Now there's nothing the spirit can't give me, I no longer lack
Please, Let's stop sinning and lashing his back.
Yes I'm covered in the blood and forever it will flow,
But theres no sinner he cant go after who thinks they've gone too low.
Covered in the blood are we,
You and me.
Now I'm white as snow,
And forever my heart will know.
-Happy Easter everyone! JESUS lives! Yes!
