The Blood is Still There

This song has been a great encouragement to us, it is one
of our favorites. It is talking about the first Passover, but
the words also remind us that even in the midst of
hard trials and very trying circumstances, that God
had not abandoned us if we still cling to Him! That Jesus'
blood still covers us when we've received Him.

"One dark night down in Egypt,

A fearful time had come

For one little Hebrew boy who was

His father's firstborn son. 

Now with the Angel of Death soon passing through,

It was hard to fall asleep

But one little lamb stood in his mind

As he lay there counting sheep.

He wondered why the young lamb had to die,

Why his blood was on the door,

Through the wind and rain

It had still remained

But he wanted to be sure.

So he called out to his father

In a trembling voice so scared,

Crying,' Father, would you please look and see

If the blood is still there?'

Refrain: And he said, 'Son, now don't you worry!

For the blood is there to stay,

The wind may blow and rains may fall

But it won't just wash away.

The blood will stand the raging storm

It's been applied with loving care,

Safe, secured you can rest assured

That the blood is still there!'

Looking over the damage,

The storm had left behind,

The flood of endless questions

Now had filled my life.

The fear that gripped my troubled soul

Brought me to my knees in prayer

Crying, 'Father, would you please look and see

If the blood is still there?'

Refrain: And he said, 'Son, now don't you worry!

For the blood is there to stay,

The wind may blow and rains may fall

But it won't just wash away.

The blood will stand the raging storm

It's been applied with loving care,

Safe, secured you can rest assured

That the blood is still there!

Safe, secured you can rest assured

That the blood is still there!"

"...Every man shall take for himself a lamb...Your 

lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year...

Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the

houses where you are. And when I see the blood,

I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on

you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt."

Exodus 12:3,5,13

"But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities; the 

chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and

by His stripes we are healed."

Isaiah 53:5

"Much more the, having now been justified

by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath

through Him." Romans 5:9

"...knowing that you were not redeemed with

corruptible things, like silver and gold, ...

but with the precious blood of Christ, as of

a lamb without blemish and without spot."

1 Peter 1:18,19
