My Journey to God

Jesus’ Precious Blood

After Jesus was tortured
And his scourging was done
The precious blood from his wounds
Continued to run
A crown of thorns
Was placed on the top of his head
Blood dripped from the thorns
And turned his face red
Whip lashes and wounds
Covered the back of his body
And made his torn garment
Blood-soaked and shoddy
Jesus carried his cross
Made from the wood of a tree
And its weight made him fall
Three times to his knees
His executioners’ work
Had still not yet been completed
And they pounded long nails
Into his hands and his feet
Then they raised his cross up
And set it into the ground
Precious blood from the piercings
Kept streaming down
The precious blood he shed
Washed away all of our sins
And when he rose in three days
Then did our redemption begin
