Flesh and Blood Love

It was a foregone conclusion- the law demanded one solution

When Jesus faced the leper, the unclean

Accusers spied with pride -behind the scenes

The law demanded isolation The law demanded separation

But Jesus touched the man who was unclean

And showed us what the spirit of the law means!

A heart rending plea was heard The savior without a word

Reached out to the leper with a healing touch

The untouchable was rescued from the dread disease's clutch!

For God will always hear the cry -when His own call He will reply

For the seeker cannot seek unless first sought.

While we were yet in sin Christ died for sinful men

By a flesh and blood love our freedom has been bought!

was a foregone conclusion- the law demanded one solution

When Jesus died for men who are unclean.

The accuser lies unseen.

The law demanded isolation- His love provided restoration

But Jesus touched the man who was unclean

And showed us what the spirit of the law means!

A heart rending plea is heard A Love that is more than words

Reached out to the sinner with a healing touch

the reprobate was recued from iniquity's firm clutch.

For God will always hear the cry of the one for whom He came to die

For the seeker cannot seek unless first sought

While we were yet in sin Christ died for sinful men

By a flesh and blood love our freedom has been bought!
