Covered by the Blood

Baptised in the blood, I am made clean,
By this salvation, I am redeemed.
For I am justified by grace,
And the veil is torn and I can see His face.

For a sinful state, I once was in,
But by His blood, I am cleansed within.
We are not completely free,
Until we see what He has done for you and me.

I am glad to have my sin debt paid,
And putting up treasure in Heaven laid.
I am daily in His presence amazed,
And He by me, shall be praised.

The Race Set Before Us

As the race we run has started,
We are asking that the strength be imparted.
For the strength we have is not enough,
And the road we travel is rough.

The distance we travel is long,
And we ask that You make us strong.
For mortal strength is fleeting,
And by the world we are taking a beating.

May the Spirit through us flow,
And our Christ may others know.
I persevere because of the cross,
And at the finish, my crown I will toss.*

* Any rewards gained will be given back to Christ when that day comes.
