Before Earth was created
Or her boundaries were defined
God looked down through the ages
Across the span of time
He saw a world in chaos
Through the ravages of sin
He saw the evil in man’s heart
And sought man’s heart to win
So from Earth’s foundation
God sought to make a way
To free us from the sting of death
And sin that held us sway
God knew He’d have to give His Son
To be the offering
For Christ alone was worthy to
Redeem us from our sin
Because of sin we couldn’t stand
Before God’s holy throne
And animals were sacrificed
Man’s evil to atone
But their blood could only cover
Never wash away our sin
Though all the blood of beasts
Could fill whole rivers to the brim
First blood shed was in Eden
When the man and woman fell
God clothed them both in blood soaked skins
To save their lives from Hell
And since that time till Jesus
A scarlet ribbon ran
Until the perfect sacrifice
Was offered up for man
And now on Heavens mercy seat
In the Most Holy Place
The blood of Christ is sprinkled
For mankind by God’s grace
