“Knowing you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. For he was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:18-21 NASB
Although I recorded this song back in 2000, it amazes me how it continues to speak, and give direction, and hope. No matter what I face from day to day, knowing there is someone who can identify with my struggles in every way, brings me comfort. Knowing [clickandtweet handle=”” hashtag=”” related=”” layout=”” position=””]I have a friend who has triumphed over death[/clickandtweet] brings me peace and joy beyond explanation. Reading God’s Word, and learning as to how he suffered, as a gentle perfect lamb, shows me how to endure hardships on this planet. Knowing He trusted God even when forsaken, I can trust him when my circumstances look bleak. Jesus knew his stay on earth would be short, but his sacrifice would last for all eternity. He is the Blessed Lamb, and I am blessed to be his child.https://newcindypalin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/10-Blessed-Be-the-Lamb.m4a
BLESSED BE THE LAMB
VERSE 1
What can man do unto my soul?
What can words take away?
Lift my eyes to the cross he chose,
this man bore my shame.
CHORUS

silently he bore my sorrow.
Blessed be the child who cries and hopes in the Lord
Eternity is their tomorrow.
VERSE 2
How can love live among such hate?
How will I carry on?
Look to him who endured such pain,
silent and strong.
CHORUS
