Plead The Blood

As we delve into the lyrics of "Plead The Blood" by Cody Carnes, we are reminded of the powerful imagery and symbolism that the blood of Jesus holds in our Christian faith. The song echoes the sentiments found in the Bible, particularly in verses like Ephesians 1:7, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace," and Hebrews 9:14, "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

The song's lyrics, "I plead the blood of Jesus," is a powerful declaration of faith, a testament to the belief that the blood of Jesus has the power to protect, to heal, and to redeem. This is a concept deeply rooted in the Bible, where the blood of Jesus is often portrayed as a protective shield against evil, a cleansing agent for our sins, and a means of redemption. 

In the song, Carnes sings, "The enemy can’t take my family, Cause this home belongs to the Lord." This resonates with the biblical passage in Joshua 24:15, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." It's a bold declaration of faith, a statement that our homes, our families, and our lives are under the protection of the Lord. 

The lyrics, "My future is glory to glory, My freedom’s been purchased in full," echo the sentiments in 2 Corinthians 3:18, "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." It's a reminder that our future is not defined by our past mistakes or current circumstances, but by the glory of God and the freedom that has been purchased for us through the blood of Jesus.

As we reflect on these lyrics and the corresponding Bible verses, we are reminded of the power of the blood of Jesus and the freedom it brings. It's a call to live in the freedom that has been purchased for us, to claim the protection that the blood of Jesus provides, and to walk in the glory that God has prepared for us.

So, as we listen to this song and meditate on these scriptures, let's ask ourselves: How are we living in the freedom that has been purchased for us? How are we claiming the protection that the blood of Jesus provides? And how are we walking in the glory that God has prepared for us? Let's take some time to reflect on these questions and allow them to guide us in our daily walk with God.
