THE CROSS WASN’T HOLY (TILL THE BLOOD WAS APPLIED)

The cross where Jesus died

So cruelly crucified

Was made from an ordinary tree

But the Blood that Jesus bled

Stained that wood crimson red

That’s what made that rugged cross------Holy (no)

CHORUS

(No)the cross wasn’t holy till the blood was applied

that flowed from His wounds and from His precious side

It then became a symbol for all mankind to see

Was lifted up as a sign, a light to eternity

---------------------------------------------------

The crown placed on His head

As mockingly they said

That He was the king of the Jews

Little did they realize

From the grave He would rise

And deliver to the world—good news (No)

REPEAT CHORUS

SECOND CHORUS

No man is not holy till the blood is applied

That flowed from His wounds and from His precious side

so come kneel at the cross where sins are washed away

where Jesus lifts you up into His arms to stay

Tag: no the cross wasn’t holy till the blood was applied
