The Power of the Blood of Jesus

Blood of Jesus

Written by Martin Ratcliffe on June 23, 2022, Key of C

Scriptures: Luke 10:19; Galatians 3:13-14

Jesus shed His blood for humanity

He died to set the captives free

Whoever will, can come to the cross

They can be saved and not suffer loss

The life of the flesh is in the blood

I can be set free from sin’s mud

Washed clean by the blood of Jesus

His blood cleanses sin and diseases

 

Chorus

The blood of Jesus is powerful

Washes the hearts of the sinful

Cleanses from sin and sets free

His blood was shed for you and me

 

Sin paid for, redeemed by the Lamb

Saved by Jesus, the Great I AM

His blood has atoned for sin

Reconciled to God, I win

There is power in the blood to set you free

Blood on door posts gave victory

Protected God’s children from the enemy

Saved, delivered healed, that’s for me

 

Chorus

Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law

Became a curse everyone saw

Cursed is everyone hung on a tree

Redeemed from the curse, I’m set free

Behold, I give you authority

To trample on serpents and scorpions - yeh

And over all the power of the enemy

And nothing shall by any means hurt ye

Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law

Having become a curse for me

(For it is written, “Cursed is everyone

Who hangs on a tree”)

That the blessing of Abraham might come upon

The Gentiles in Christ Jesus,

That we might receive the promise

Of the Spirit through faith

Chorus

Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law

Galatians three, thirteen and fourteen

I receive the promise of the Spirit through faith

I am going to close every sin door

Breaking Free to the Next Level�

Baggage at the Door

By Martin Ratcliffe, June 6, 2022, Key of A

Scriptures:

The enemy prowls around, seeking whom may be found

Put your armor on, resist him, you’ve won

Close the open doors, don’t pick at any sores

Forgive those who’ve hurt, who’ve thrown you in the dirt

 Chorus

 Leave your baggage at the door, you don’t need it any more

Repent of your sin, invite the Savior in

He’s given you His key, you have the victory

Set your mind on things above, walk in His love

 Chorus

 Words may have been spoken, some wounding some pokin’

Iniquity and sin, may be dwelling within

There’s power in the blood, to cleanse from sin’s mud

You are not alone, the Father’s on the throne

 Chorus

 There is nothing to fear, ‘cause God’s Spirit is here

No guilt no shame no condemnation, in Jesus’ salvation

In Him there’s no rejection, He’s not looking for perfection

Are you cleansed with the blood from sin’s awful flood?

Chorus

 Unforgiveness, rage addiction, controlling spirits are not fiction

Lust, perversion, fornication, it’s time for a separation

Confess your guilt and shame, in Jesus’ holy name

Set free from sin and death, receive Holy Spirit breath

Chorus

Root out that haughty stance, pride and arrogance

Anger and rage, must step off the stage

Unforgiveness and offense, there is recompense

Walk by faith in the Word, it’s not absurd
