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 by his precious blood
And the lamb, that will come,
His cross will be our doorway
And the red of his blood it will make us white
And the daughters and sons, rejoice in resurrection!
And death swallowed up in endless life
Glory, glory, this I see
All my praise for this I bring
Not of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
