He Shed His Blood

Christ shed His blood to wash away our sin

Erase our guilt

and make us clean with­in;

The Lamb of God re­moved our ev­ery stain

He died that we might have eter­nal gain.

Then rose again to prove the Scrip­ture true

Performed the work that on­ly God can do.

How then can we re­ceive this per­fect gift?

Only be­lieve

and feel the bur­den lift.

Christ did it all

and you can do no more:

Now go and spread the news the wide world o’er;

Proclaim that we no long­er need to fear

Death’s dark­est pri­son or the Judge sev­ere.

Send out the light to earth’s re­mot­est bound

Make sha­dows flee wher­ev­er sin is found;

Speak of the Christ who died our souls to save

Tell of the God whose pow­er de­stroyed the grave.

Tell how His grace and mer­cy set us free

That we might live with Him eter­nal­ly.

Announce the King who lives and reigns above

Publish good tid­ings of His migh­ty love.

Tell how the Spir­it comes when we be­lieve

Tell of the pro­mise: He will nev­er leave.

When Christ re­turns

O

how will we be then?

The Gos­pel spread­ing to the ve­ry end?
