The Passover Song

By People & Songs

Lyrics

There’s a promise in our veins

But it’s faded by all these years in chains

Send a prophet, send the plagues

That by sunrise we will no more be slaves


Take the lamb, take the blood

And paint it on our doorways

At night death will come but pass us by


This is all our hope and peace


In the morning we will rise

Taste the freedom we thought we’d never find

We will dance now in the streets

Once held captive now we shall live as kings


Lift your head, your voice

And sing of your salvation

Of the blood of the lamb that gave us life


Now by this we’ll overcome

Now by this we’ll reach our home


There’s a poison in our veins

And it leads to death we cannot escape

Send a ransom a perfect Son

Remedy the curse with His precious blood


And the Lamb that will come

His cross will be our doorway

And the red of His blood ill make us white

And daughters and sons

Rejoice in resurrection

And death swallowed up in endless life


Glory, glory this I sing

All my praise for this I bring

Naught of good that I have done

Nothing but the blood of Jesus
