Life in the Blood

Here’s a song inspired by Leviticus 17:11, which states (in the NIV): "For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life." The song reflects the themes of life, sacrifice, and redemption found in this verse.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the veins of the living, a river flows,
A sacred stream where the mystery grows,
The breath of the soul, the heartbeat’s call,
The life in the blood, it binds us all.

(Pre-Chorus)
Given for a purpose, a holy design,
A gift poured out in the fullness of time,
On the altar it falls, a crimson plea,
A bridge to the mercy that sets us free.

(Chorus)
Oh, the life is in the blood, a sacred flame,
A whisper of grace in a holy name,
Atonement flows where the shadows fade,
Through the sacrifice, our debt is paid.

(Verse 2)
From the dust we rise, yet fragile we stand,
Marked by the Maker, held in His hand,
The blood cries out, a voice so near,
A promise of life we long to hear.

(Pre-Chorus)
Given for a purpose, a holy design,
A gift poured out in the fullness of time,
On the altar it falls, a crimson plea,
A bridge to the mercy that sets us free.

(Chorus)
Oh, the life is in the blood, a sacred flame,
A whisper of grace in a holy name,
Atonement flows where the shadows fade,
Through the sacrifice, our debt is paid.

(Bridge)
No words can repay, no hands can restore,
The life that was given, the love at its core,
A river of healing, a tide so strong,
The blood sings redemption, our endless song.

(Chorus)
Oh, the life is in the blood, a sacred flame,
A whisper of grace in a holy name,
Atonement flows where the shadows fade,
Through the sacrifice, our debt is paid.

(Outro)
In the silence, the truth remains,
Life in the blood breaks every chain,
Forever it speaks, forever it flows,
A story of love the heart always knows.
