… such a plight!
Where’s the BLOOD
this Passover Night?
Where’s the BLOOD
So red and cruel
To cover our sins
… the unchanged rule.
CircumSign marks
HIS people in skin.
HIS Covenant requires
BLOOD for sin.
Where is that BLOOD
When Death doth hover;
It’s written plain:
NO BLOOD--- NO COVER.
Without the BLOOD
Our doom is sealed.
HIS Word is sure;
HIS Judgment real.
Is our GOD on Judgment Day
Unfair ? … But that
Is not HIS way.
Does GOD, our Hope,
Command such pay…
Then let us grope
To find the way?
Has HaSHEM
In Whom we trust
Abandoned us…
In great disgust?
Did our Rock
In desert holes
Water our flesh…
To slay our souls?
GOD forbid!
Yet no-one stands
On Judgment Day
With defiled hands.
No BLOOD in “works”
As we’ve been taught.
This is NOT found
In Torah thought.
Sins are covered
by Moses’ Law?
No… its work
Reveals our flaws.
Meticulous laws,
detailed, GOD taught.
No BLOOD covers
fallen man’s thought.
Unsuffered to hew
Even one altar stone.
That act defiles it.
Man is left alone.
Wait! Is GOD nonchalant?
Has integrity declined?
Are HIS chosen forsaken?
Has GOD changed HIS Mind?
NO! HE provides.
HIS love, undiminished.
HIS Holiness wrought
The Work that HE finished.
Abraham and Isaac
Pointed the Way
HIS Provision would come:
Blood--- HOLY--- would pay.
The blood of bulls
and goats is done.
HaSHEM covered us
In HIS SON.
King David spoke clearly
of THIS ONE+
When he admonished:
Kiss the SON+ !
The HOLY ONE of Israel
Did come down.
HE offered HIMSELF;
HE wore no crown.
But thorns did don
and flesh did wear.
A LAMB HE+ was…
Our sins did bear.
+
The BLOOD requirement
Now is met.
Unblemished Lamb,
HE+ paid our debt.
The Law is kept
By HIM, precise.
MESSIAH’S BLOOD,
HIS sacrifice.
GOD’s HOLY ONE.
HE+ swallowed up Death.
In Victory, HE+ will come.
No longer a LAMB,
Moshiach now roars.
HIS+ glory the Lion
of Judah restores.
HE+ Who came
To the Ancient of Days,
The Son+ of Man,
Is Judge of man’s ways.
Mene, mene, Tekel …
From hardness depart.
Let not that be etched
On the wall of your heart.
Spirit of Truth
versus Spirit of Error:
Stubbornness yields
Inescapable Terror.
His+ mercy-filled love,
His+ Grace--- do not fear it.
Men hungry for Truth
HE+ will fill with His+ Spirit.
