Praise Ye the Lord!

I decided to include a hymn/poem I wrote years ago in today's post. Here it is:

Without the Camp
Before in time, the bulls were brought
For sin,
Their blood was sprinkled where the debt
Had been.
Their bodies, burned without the camp,
Became consuming fire
To reconcile a holy God
And bring His heart's desire.

Then Jesus came, and on the cross
His blood
Was sprinkled freely, offered for
Our good,
His body, pierced without the camp,
Became our sacrifice
To reconcile a holy God
Who broke His heart for us.

Now let us go without the camp
To Him
Whose blood became a holy flame
Within.
It cleansed away all sin from us
And burned away the dross
To make us like a holy God
Who met us at the cross.
(Lev.4:21;Heb.1:13)
