Currency of Blood

gray0328

 

The weight of guilt is leaden, unseen.  

Each sin a shadow, pressing the soul.  

We walked bound, wrists raw with debt.  

A debt we denied, yet always knew.  

 

The wages were death, that final gavel.  

But Christ bled crimson into our ruin.  

In his hands, the scars spoke truth.  

Each drop a pardon, each stripe release.  

 

Blood carved a highway through darkness.  

For belief, a key into eternity's door.  

Forgiveness flowed red over barren hearts.  

In his sacrifice, the debt was bridged.  

 

Not perish, but rise with opened lungs.  

Christ’s work, a cornerstone of grace's home.  

We trust the hands that hold all time.  

Eternal life lifted us from the grave.

    Religious where debt seems to mean original sin carried and paid by a savior's ransom. Well done
