Violently they grabbed His arms, as they tightly strapped each wrist.
With a hellish look stood a strong armed soldier, whip clenched in his fist.
Laced with chips of bone they beat Him hard, from His shoulders to His feet.
And it sliced right through His olive skin, just like razors through a sheet.
Countless times the blood splattered, as each inhuman lash was given.
Several times His knees gave way, as His flesh just hung like ribbons.
Then surprisingly He turned His head, though the words he used were few.
The soldiers face turned pale when He said,
"THIS BLOOD IS FOR YOU."

Uncaringly they tossed a garment across His weakened form.
And His blood pressure fell deathly low as the crowds begin to swarm.
They forced Him to carry His cross uphill, as His face they punched and smacked.
While the splinters from the criss cross beam dug deep into His back.
Through lack of sleep and dehydration, His tongue begin to swell.
And weakened by His loss of blood, this Prophet, Teacher, fell.
When He did, some blood splattered, on a man named Simon's shoe.
And as he bent to wipe it off the Prophet looked and said, Simon, THIS BLOOD IS FOR YOU.
This blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart.
This blood can give you access to the very throne of God.
And it still can go the distance, through the pain to where you are.
This Blood Is For You.....the blood of the Lamb.
Then they pounded the spikes through the bones in His wrists, bursting arteries and veins.
As they dropped the cross in the hole they dug, His body convulsed with pain.
Through agony and torment that never a soul shall find.
He tilts His face towards Heaven.With full control of His mind.
With more love than any human heard, before that time or since.
He made a statement that to this day, makes the strongest skeptic wince.
He cried, "FATHER GOD FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!"
And as He gave His life for those lost in sin, He was saying "This Blood Is For You."
And this blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart.
This blood can give you access to the very throne of God.
And it still can go the distance, through the pain to where you are.
This blood is for you.......if your lost and alone and your mind is confused.
This blood is for you......if you feel like you have been hurt and abused.
This blood is for you......the atoning cleansing Blood of the Lamb......
