Blood ties

My Saviour redeemed my soul.

Bought me access into the family of God,

Blood ties,

Tied to God forever by the blood of Christ.

He shed it,

gave it,

drowned in it,

The physical manifestation

of His self-sacrificing love,

Poured out not for His own sake,

Given. Given. Given.

A family, a child of God

In life, and death, and life

With blood ties to God, Abba, Father,

Through my Brother, my God, my Saviour

Jesus.
