Blood of Christ over our lives.

 The Blood of Christ Over Our Lives

The Blood of Christ over our lives—

A scarlet line of mercy where the judgment-knife

Was stayed,a final, full atonement given.

The mark upon the doorpost that turns back the death of heaven.

When I see the blood, I will pass over you. (Exodus 12:13)

Over our minds, a cleansing from the lies that twist and bind.

Over our hearts,a healing for the wounds we’ve left behind.

Over our past,a tide that washes every guilty stain,

Until not even memory can speak its shame again.

The blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

Over our homes, a sacred hedge, a shield against the night.

Over our going out,our coming in, a wall of light.

Over our weakness,a perfected and all-sufficient strength,

Covering our failings for the whole and final length.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

It speaks a better word than any condemnation’s cry.

It is the oath that seals the everlasting covenant,“My.”

The river from the side of Love,where thirsty souls may wade,

The purchase price that for a bride eternally was paid.

May the God of peace… through the blood of the eternal covenant… equip you with everything good for doing his will. (Hebrews 13:20-21)

So we apply it now, not by a physical command,

But by the Spirit’s faith,and with a trusting, open hand.

We claim its full protection,its cleansing and its plea,

And walk as ransomed children,forever and fully free.

The Blood of Christ—our shelter, our pardon, and our peace—

Over our lives, its conquering power shall never cease.

Amen.

In Scripture, the blood of Christ signifies:

· Redemption & Forgiveness: Purchasing our freedom and washing away sin (Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:7).

· Reconciliation: Making peace between God and humanity (Colossians 1:20).

· New Covenant: Sealing God's eternal promise of relationship with us (Hebrews 9:14-15, 13:20).

· Overcoming Power: The believer's testimony and victory are rooted in it (Revelation 12:11).

To declare it "over our lives" is a prayer of faith, applying His finished work for our ongoing protection, cleansing, and identity as His own.
