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
