116 - The Passover Song - Caroline Cobb & Sean Carter - Excellent Songs

<p>This week, as a part of our new Excellent Songs series, we're looking at Caroline Cobb's "The Passover Song." This song draws on two Biblical narratives at the same time: the liberation of Israel from slavery in Egypt through the Passover, and the salvation of sinful humans by Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VjILH2YNUc</p> <p>Caroline Cobb: https://www.carolinecobb.com/</p> <p>Song Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiAUuroWHEo</p> <p>Lyrics (and other details from Caroline Cobb's bandcamp; edits marked in square brackets):</p> <p><br></p> <p>Words and music by Caroline Cobb and Sean Carter<br> Written January 11-14, 2013<br> Exodus 12 (See also John 1:29, Hebrews 10:20)</p> <p><br></p> <p>There’s a promise in our veins<br> But it’s faded by all these years in chains<br> Send a prophet, send the plagues<br> That by sunrise we will no more be slaves<br> <br> Take the lamb, take the blood<br> And paint it on our doorways<br> At night death will come but pass us by<br> <br> This is all our hope and peace<br> <br> In the morning we will rise<br> Taste the freedom we thought we’d never find<br> We will dance now in the streets<br> Once held captive now we shall live as kings<br> <br> Lift your head, your voice<br> And sing of your salvation<br> Of the blood of the lamb that gave us life<br> <br> Now by this we’ll overcome<br> Now by this we’ll reach our home<br> <br> There’s a poison in our veins<br> And it leads to death we cannot escape<br> Send a ransom a perfect Son<br> Remedy the curse with [sung: &nbsp;by] His precious blood<br> <br> And the Lamb that will come<br> His cross will be our doorway<br> And the red of His blood [sung: it w]ill make us white<br> And [sung: the] daughters and sons<br> Rejoice in resurrection<br> And death swallowed up in endless life<br> <br> Glory, glory this I sing<br> All my praise for this I bring<br> Naught of good that I have done<br> Nothing but the blood of Jesus</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://a
