No Other Sacrifice

The wages I am due are nothing short of death

It was my sin that required this bloody mess.

The dust shall drink its fill

This was the Father's Will

But the spilling of the blood still takes away my breath.

Nothing else can cleanse

Nothing covers over sins

Nothing else can pay redemptions price

Nothing else frees us

But the precious blood of Jesus

There is no other sacrifice.

No coat of many colors, the one covering is red

A sacrificial sign that the innocent has bled

No more bloody hides of the first sacrifice

No longer naked, we are clothed in Christ.

Much fruit shall come because the woman's seed is dead.

Nothing else can cleanse

Nothing covers over sins

Nothing else can pay redemptions price

Nothing else frees us

But the precious blood of Jesus

There is no other sacrifice.

Now when He is arisen, He defeats the final foe

When we are grafted into Him His life through us will flow

The True vine evermore shall live

New life abundant  He shall give

From death He takes the victory so all the world can know.

Nothing else can cleanse

Nothing covers over sins

Nothing else can pay redemptions price

Nothing else frees us

But the precious blood of Jesus

There is no other sacrifice.
