I claim The Blood

Jennifer sang the song "I Claim The Blood" at Sunday School.  It has been so long since I heard it.  It really ministered to my spirit.  I appreciate you stepping on out and singing it even though you felt you did not have the verses down.  I really enjoyed it.  I am claiming those blood stains in my life and in my family.
Here are the lyrics as posted on a web site.

1. I have a source of strength when I am weak,
that takes me through when life is pressing me,
I have a source of power from above,
I'm covered over by a shield of love.
2. I do not know how others make it through,

who do not go to Calvary as I do,
for there's a healing, cleansing stream that flows,
with peace that only His redeemed can know.
Chorus: I claim the blood Jesus shed on Calvary,
those precious blood stains were made there just for me,
for all my sin, my sickness and my pain,
when I need healing, I claim those precious blood stains.

I truly do not know how others make it without the hope, the comfort, the strength that come from knowing God is there.  When I need healing, I claim those precious blood stains.  Praise God.
Many times I have yielded to those comforting arm of love when my life was skidding out of control and I saw no hope.  But GOD!  Therein lies hope and comfort.  I could feel His love begin to soothe and help me make it through.  I love you, Father!!

I pray that all may know that comfort, peace and strength that comes from that great source!! OUR GOD!

  2. I was paging though one of my journals, and found the lyrics on a folded sheet of notebook paper. I only sang it once, and it was a long time ago. I'd have never made it through the song without Kathy's help with the verses. I got up there and completely forgot the tune to them.
