Everlasting Word Band - Blood of Beasts Lyrics

Gather your first fruits and bring 'em in
Lay 'em down while remembering
As the blood spills down upon the stone
And you hear the animal groan
This is for you, this is for you

Gather your family round bring 'em close
Death's outside of the windows
As the blood soaks into the doorposts
You smell the flesh and bone
This is for you, this is for you

But all the blood of beasts on Jewish altars slain
Can't give the guilty peace or wash away the stain

Gather your friends round and run on here
Some are saying the Messiahs appeared
All the preachers are saying he's a joke
But who's to say they know
It might be true, it might be true

"Gather your senses, muster your strength"
"The cup before me, it's mine to drink"
Betrayal looms like the moon shining above
Could there be a greater love
A love for you, a love for you

Gather your courage now, things are dark
The suns retreated, sins left its mark
And as He, bloodied, prays for your poor soul
You feel the thunder roll
His life for you, his life for you

Cause all the blood of beasts on Jewish altars slain
Can't give the guilty peace or wash away the stain
A Nobler Sacrifice, into the world He came
To spill His perfect blood, to call us by His name

Gather the saints round the throne of God
Sing his praises, his glory laud
By his blood we have been set free
To worship at His feet
Eternally, eternally
