The Blood Of One

The Blood Of One

A Poem by Carl

The blood of one can save a Nation

The blood of one can soothe a soul

The blood of one can take the broken

The blood of one can make them whole

The blood of one can take a gun

The blood of one can lay it down

The blood of one can unite a family

The blood of one can change a town

 

The blood of one can break your chains

The blood of one can set you free

The blood of one can remove the scales

The blood of one can make you see

The blood of one  can bring forgiveness

The blood of one the betraying kiss

The blood of one can change a culture

The blood of one in an age like this

 

The blood of one spans generations

The blood of one from deep within

The blood of one is no respector of standing

The blood of one is not bound by skin

The blood of one is for the chosen

The blood of one is for the few

The blood of one is for those still searching

The blood of one will find you

 

The blood of one through the centuries

The blood of one has power to see

The blood of one "Amazing Grace"

The blood of one saved a wretch like me

The blood of one shall not be stopped

The blood of one flowing from that awful tree

The blood of one that says "Find Peace"

The blood of one at Calvary

 

The blood of one still flows today

The blood of one still seeks the lost

The blood of one free and precious

The blood of one at great cost

The blood has called us in ages past

The blood that was shed by Gods own Son

The blood still present by its power

For it is the blood of an age to come

This is very good. It could be sung as a hymn. However I must differ with you about one word. In the third stanza You wrote "The blood of one is for the chosen/the blood of one is for the few." Wouldn't it read better as "The blood of one os for the many/the blood of one is for the few." Christ's blood was shed for all.
