We Win (Drops of Blood)

Here's a song I wrote for this year's Easter services. I just now had a chance to mix it down. Hope you enjoy it!

Drops of Blood upon the ground

and with thorns, He wore the crown,

as He carried the weight of all my sin

Driving spikes into His hands,

unrecognizable as man,

He cried out and all creation saw His end.

Now that darkness had its cost,

and ev'ry hopeful day was lost,

placed into the ground,

carried to a bed of rock,

Descending in to regions only known to death,

surrounded in the lies of all unrest,

Separated from the Love

and ev'ry thing from up above,

He became the curse that I deserved.

And when the debt was paid,

the wind of Heaven came,

and burning light came blazing through the door.

For the gates of hell shall not prevail

against the love that tore the veil.

Heaven's eyes toward us

are filled with tears of grace,

and a longing to behold us face to face.

With a blazing light and burning pow'r,

radiation filled the tomb,

as a New Creation, and a brand new Nation

came forth from Heaven's womb,

He's alive in us, and we're alive in Him!

All of Heaven now proclaims,

"We win! We win!"

"We win! We win!"

He is alive, He's ruling in His power,

We are alive in Him!

Ev'ry pow'r is put now beneath Him,

We declare, "We win!"

Heaven's gates are opened wide,

All His life is now inside.

Light and life are here to stay.

Ev'ry blessing shines today.

He is alive, He's ruling in His power,

We are alive in Him!

Ev'ry pow'r is put now beneath Him,

We declare, "We win!"

Heaven's gates are opened wide,

All His life is now inside.

Light and life are here to stay.
