-The Color Red & Anthony Skinner-

Mr. Skinner and Jason Upton are pretty much on the most played list of zach's ipod and itunes! I love it when you've heard a song numerous times and yeah, you love it and could listen to it over and over again and then, on that 2000th time, something just unfolds from the words and you are floored with the presence of the Lord. Let me share...
I was in Taylor's the other nite and i was listening to Anthony Skinner's song titled Come, like i said, i've heard it tons yet somthing jumped out at me in the lyrics... maybe its just me but i thought this concept was pretty amazing and once again, proved the GREATNESS of the One we serve and attempt to model our lives after. The song basically conveyed the fact that before Jesus' cruxification and before you and i, God in all his knowledge, wisdom, and majesty created the color red! Yeah, that was it, don't miss it! Think about that. Before we were saved by grace and faith before creation, God in his creativity and love, invisioned His beloved Son, the risen lamb's death on the cross. Such a powerful moment, an eternal life giving moment for all who would call Him savior and friend. God knew the color of his Son's blood that would be shed that day before time!

Nothing But the Blood

Your blood speaks a better word

Than all the empty claims

I've heard upon this earth

Speaks righteousness for me

And stands in my defense Jesus it's Your blood

[Chorus] What can wash away our sins?

What can make us whole again?

Nothing but the blood

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can wash us pure as snow?

Welcomed as the friends of God

Nothing but Your blood

Nothing but Your blood King Jesus

Your cross testifies in grace

Tells of the Father's heart to make a way for us

Now boldly we approach

Not by earthly confidence

It's only Your blood

-M. Redman

Lord, we thank you for the blood...

-Be Blessed-
