Bridegroom Jesus Image

1 Verse:
You loved us from the very start
Claimed Your bride with all Your heart
At Sinai there on holy ground
Through blood and stone, we traded vows
But in our sin, we broke the faith
And death became our bitter wage
'Til mercy wove a scarlet thread
Through history to Bethlehem
You kept Your covenant

Chorus:
The blood of the Bridegroom flows for our rescue
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
Mercy that triumphs over our judgement
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
Oh, it speaks a better word

2 Verse:
The crushing of Gethsemane
The bruises of iniquity
With crimson flowing from Your crown
Your hands, Your feet, Your side, Your brow
You washed away our every debt
The stain of our unfaithfulness
You ransomed back Your wayward bride
Our healing's written in Your stripes
Forever in Your stripes, oh

Chorus:
The blood of the Bridegroom flows for our rescue
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
Mercy that triumphs over our judgement
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
The blood of the Bridegroom flows for our rescue
The Blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
Mercy that triumphs over our judgement
The Blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word

Interlude:
Oh, hallelujah for the blood

Bridge 1:
This is how You say that "I love you"
The cross, the cross
Oh, how great the love of our Bridegroom  Jesus
This is how You say that "I love you"
The cross, the cross
Oh, how great the love of our Bridegroom  Jesus
This is how You say that "I love you"
The cross, the cross
Oh, how great the love of our Bridegroom  Jesus
This is how You say that "I love you"
The cross, the cross
Oh, how great the love of our Bridegroom  Jesus
Oh, Jesus

Chorus:
The blood of the Bridegroom flows for our rescue
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word
Mercy that triumphs over our judgement
The blood of the Bridegroom speaks a better word

Break:
Thank You, thank You, thank You
Where would we be without the blood?
Oh, where would we be without the blood?
It sanctifies and purifies
It washes away our sin
Oh, it's precious
Thank You, thank You
Thank You, thank You
