Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Why, must Jesus die for me and you?
Cuz I know that I am the one deserving to die for my sins
So why? Why?

Why? Why, must Jesus go to Calvary?
Why, must Jesus bear the cross for all?
Cuz we have sinned and fallen short of the glory of the Lord
So why? Why?

Why, I want to know why?
He didn’t have to die
It could have been me
It should have been me.

Why? Why?

Jesus had to die (Why? Why?)
I know that I am a sinner
But he didn’t have to die for me (Why? Why?)
I’m the one, I’m the one who deserves to die (Why? Why?)

(Oh Why? Why?, Why? Why?)

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son
That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish (Why? Why?)

Why? Oh Why? (Repeat)

He didn’t have to die; I fell short of the glory of the Lord
For my sins (I love) He didn’t have to die (I love)
But I’m so glad he did (Oh My God, My God)
I don’t know why Jesus loves me (I love)
I don’t know why He cares (I love)
But I’m so glad He did, (oh My God) I’m so glad (My God)

(I love, I love, Oh My God, my God)

Lekunutung le Morena (My secret with God)
Hoja nka ba teng ka mehla, (If ever I could dwell there forever)

Ha ke buisoa ke Ntate, (When I talk with the Father)
Ke ntse ke lumelloa le’na (I find favor)

Work of the Blood Lyrics by Ncebakazi Nkansu (Joyous Celebration 16)

Rain AGL_Themes, Easter, English Lyrics, South Africa , , , , , , 82 Comments


As you see me today, once was lost to sin
I was as good as dead, when the Lord found me
He said come; the price has been paid
Your sins are forgiven, through my blood
Gave you a new name, as I set you free
(Repeat)

Chorus:
The blood of Jesus Christ; the blood of the blameless lamb
The blood to cleanse me, the blood to rescue me
What you see today, is the work of the blood

Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness
Of sin that’s God’s standard
So when the devil stood before God’s throne
To accuse me for all my sins
It took Christ to stand in my place
He tore his robe, to show stripes on his back
He was bruised on his hands and his feet
And opened my way; a new name

(Chorus)

Because of your great work Lord, We wanna say
Thank you. Oh thank you
You came down, thank you
Just to lift me up, so I thank you Lord
You left your throne, thank you
You had me in mind, thank you
What you see today, is the work
Nothing but the work of the blood

Jesus we adore you, We wanna say to you (Thank you)

Chorus 2:
For the blood (Thank you), for my life (Thank you)
For your grace (I thank you Lord)
For my peace (Thank you), For my joy (Thank you)
What you see today, is the work of the blood

You went to Calvary just to purchase me

(Chorus 2)

What you see today, is the work of the blood…

(Sung in Sotho)

Na ke bo mang, ba mosedile bohong? (Who are they, […]?)
Ba tlhotlhora, role la le bitla (That are shaking off the dust of the grave)
Ba ya kganya, ba ba sweu (They are bright, they are white)
Ba meqhaka ditlhohong (They have crowns on their heads)
(repeat)

Bohang seema, ha ba hlaha ka khoro (Look at them that come through the gates)
Jerusalema e mocha, e mocha (The new Jerusalem)
Pina tsa bona tse tsiswang ke nyakallo (Their songs are full of Joy)
Ke madi a konyana x2 (It is the blood of the lamb)

O ya galalela, O ya galalela (You are holy, You are holy)
O ya galalela, Modimo wa kgotla (You are holy, our God)
