Hallelujah, Your Blood Reigns Over Me
Posted on January 15, 2010 with 0 comments
Well, here we are post-Christmas and post-New Year. It is a day of new beginning!
Last week or so, I started on a new song and while it is not settled yet, my understanding is getting stretched a bit by the concept. Central to the song is that Jesus' work reigns over anything and everything. Nothing about us can't be reconciled to God by Jesus' work. His work of the cross and His resurrection subjugate sin and death. Jesus is supreme over all - Col 1:15-23. My foundation in healing prayer is that Jesus is supreme over sickness and infirmity. They are subjugated to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Sickness and infirmity are also then subjugated to Christ in us.
This song also hints at the Paschal Mystery. As we remember and ponder the Passion of Christ, we take in the healing and resurrection. We take it into our own bodies. The power of Christ's work in us, revealing the glory of God. From the moment we receive the Gospel, we are given new life - one that starts when we receive Him as Lord and Savior, and continues into eternity, forever, with God. Hallelujah, Jesus. Your blood reigns over us.
Here are the words, so far.... (will post recording soon!)
I was lost.
My body broken.
I knew no peace,
knew no peace.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Your blood reigns over me.
On the cross,
Your body's broken
From the grave,
You arise,
Arise as King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Your blood reigns over me.
