"Love Grew Where the Blood Fell"

A bit of a diversion from my photos for a moment...

This is one of the songs our choir is singing tomorrow morning. I have had a hard time getting through it every time I sing it. Have you ever had a song that just chokes you up EVERY TIME you sing it? Let me tell ya, it's difficult to sing when you are on the verge of crying. Pray I can get through it tomorrow - it's a beautiful song, and I feel so unworthy to even sing it.



See my Jesus on the cross,
the people crying.
Looking on, a man would think it tradgedy.
Bus what the crowd could not see
was when they nailed Him to that tree,
it would break the chains of sin's captivity.

Love Grew where the blood fell.
Flowers of hope sprang up for men in misery.
Sin died where the blood fell.
I'm so glad His precious blood has covered me.

Thorns of violence and hate
were growing wildly,
and the sorrow they had caused was plain to see.
But when the blood came streaming down the cross
where my Jesus bled and died,
He started blossoms of forgiveness flowing free.

Love grew where the blood fell.
Flowers of hope sprang up for men in misery.
Sin died where the blood fell.
I'm so glad His precious blood has covered me.
