When the Blood Was Seen

Intro - Female spoken-sung, deep bass and Rhodes

Exodus chapter twelve... One night in Egypt. One lamb for the household. And a sign upon the door. Centuries later... John points to Jesus and calls Him the Lamb.

Verse 1 - Female, soulful rhythmic storytelling

Egypt in the darkness, judgment drawing near, A nation held in bondage, generations living there. God spoke unto Moses, gave instructions for that night, Take a lamb without a blemish, prepare it as prescribed. Place its blood upon the doorposts, across the frame above, And gather in your households, trusting what the Lord had done. The blood would be a sign when judgment passed across the land, And God would spare those households by the promise of His hand.

Female - Smooth melodic lift

It wasn't just a story of a nation being freed, God was showing them a pattern with a meaning yet to see. A lamb, a sign, deliverance, Remember what the Lord had done.

Chorus - Soulful male tenor, bouncing brass and handclaps

When the blood was seen, God made a way, Through the darkest night, He brought a brand-new day. The lamb was given, the people set free, But a greater Lamb was coming for humanity. Oh, the promise carries on, Hear the story, hear the song. From the Passover to Calvary, The Lamb of God has set us free.

Verse 2 - Female, warm rhythmic singing

Now John chapter one, a prophet standing there, Sees Jesus coming toward him, makes a statement they would share. Behold the Lamb of God, who takes the world's sin away, A title full of meaning from a much more ancient day. Then John nineteen describes the cross, the suffering and the pain, The soldiers came to break His legs, but left His bones unchanged. And John recalls the Scripture, not one bone would be destroyed, The Passover instructions carried meaning to that point.

Female - Melodic revelation

Remember Exodus twelve, The lamb without a broken bone. Now see the Gospel pointing back, So Christ the Lamb of God is known.

Chorus - Male, deeper energy, gospel harmonies

When the blood was seen, God made a way, Through the darkest night, He brought a brand-new day. The lamb was given, the people set free, But a greater Lamb was coming for humanity. Oh, the promise carries on, Hear the story, hear the song. From the Passover to Calvary, The Lamb of God has set us free.

Verse 3 - Female, confident melodic delivery

First Corinthians five, Paul tells the church to see, Christ our Passover was sacrificed, and now we're called to be A people leaving sinful ways, sincerity and truth, Not holding on to all the things the Savior calls us to leave. And Peter speaks of precious blood, a lamb without a stain, Not silver, gold, or earthly wealth could wash our sins away. The Exodus was real deliverance, remembered every year, But Christ has brought redemption with a hope that conquers fear.

Female - Soulful singing

Don't only see the doorway, Or the lamb upon the plate. Remember Who has saved us, And the freedom found in grace.

Bridge - Male and female duet, drums soften

A lamb for every household...

Male

A promise now fulfilled...

Both

The story keeps unfolding, And the Scriptures testify: Our redemption rests in Jesus, The Lamb who gave His life.

Final Chorus - Male lead, female harmonies, full trombones

When the blood was seen, God made a way, Through the darkest night, He brought a brand-new day. The lamb was given, the people set free, But a greater Lamb was coming for humanity. Oh, the promise carries on, Hear the story, hear the song. From the Passover to Calvary, The Lamb of God has set us free.

Outro - Female spoken, soft piano
