....called REDEMPTION. I listened to this song a number of times on my travels this month and thought about Johnny Cash and his personal journey of faith. The blood that was shed and the body and life that was given on that awful cross was necessary for our redemption and freedom. Johnny Cash experienced that redemption and knew what it meant to be free from the chains of sin. Thank you God for giving your only Son. Thank you Jesus for dying for us so that we may live forever!
From the hands it came down
from the side it came down
from the feet it came down
and ran to the ground.
Between heaven and hell
a teardrop fell
in the deep crimson dew
the tree of life grew.
And the blood gave life
to the branches of the tree
and the blood was the price
that set the captives free.
And the numbers that came
through the fire and the flood
clung to the tree
and were redeemed by the blood.
From the tree streamed a light
that started the fight
round the tree grew a vine
on whose fruit I could dine.
My old friend Lucifer came
fought to keep me in chains
but I saw through the tricks
of six sixty-six.
And the blood gave life
to the branches of the tree
and the blood was the price
that set the captives free.
And the numbers that came
through the fire and the flood
Clung to the tree
and were redeemed by the blood.
From His hands it came down
From his side it came down
from the feet it came down
and ran to the ground.
And the small inner voice
said you do have a choice
the vine engrafted me
and I clung to the tree.
And the blood gave life
to the branches of the tree
and the blood was the price
that set the captives free.
And the numbers that came
through the fire and the flood
I clung to the tree
and was redeemed by the blood.
From His hands it came down
from His side it came down
from the feet it came down
and ran to the ground.
