I come to the table,
I come with my sin.
I come so unworthy,
Yet You welcome me in.
I come bearing shame and guilt,
And the ravages of my sin.....

But You say,
Don't you see the blood
Of my Son?
Don't you see the blood
Of my Son?
Lift up your head and see
the blood of my Son,

You're free!
You're free!
Free to be all I made you to be!
You're free!
You're free!
Free to be all I made you to be!

But then Satan's right there to taunt me,
And he accuses me and says,
Don't you remember the time you cursed him?
And I hang my head in shame.....

But You say,
Don't you see the blood
Of my Son?
Lift up your head and see
the blood of my Son--
It covers all that you have ever done!
The blood of my Son!
And the blood is there for everyone!
The blood of my Son!

You're free!
You're free!


As I reflected upon a friend whose marriage is being viciously attacked by our enemy, Satan, I was praying.....and the Lord reminded me that it is so easy to focus on my failures and mistakes in this life.....to feel that it's all up to me....and when I don't measure up,...well....

But He whispered to me, "Jina, don't you see the blood of My Son? Take your eyes off yourself and look at the blood of my Son. It completely covers all of your transgression--all the transgression of the entire world. Look to me--you are free! When I see you, I see the perfect blood of my Son."

Hallelujah!

"As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect peoople. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process." Hebrews 10 The Message

"But if we walk in the light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God's Son, purges all our sin.....I write this, dear children, to guide you out of sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a Priest-Friend in the presence of the Father: Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus. When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's." IJohn 1 The Message
