Chapter 9 - Page 115 - New Passion

“Would you be free from the burden of sin? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood. Would you o’er evil a victory win? There’s wonderful power in the blood. There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the precious blood of the lamb. There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the precious blood of the lamb.”

    By now, everyone was smiling and clapping their hands. Children were trying to catch the streaks of light. Even the patients were thrilled.

    “Would you be whiter, much whiter, than snow? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood. Sin’s stains are lost in his life-giving flow. There’s wonderful power in the blood. There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the blood of the lamb. There is power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of the lamb. There is power, power, wonder-working power in the blood of the lamb. There is power, power, wonder-working power in the blood of the lamb. There is power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of the lamb.”

    As Jim and Rhasha finished the fourth and final song, the streaks of light stopped shooting across the hospital, but the blue glow remained around them. They still didn’t know the lightbulb above their heads had blown.

    Jim and Rhasha kissed tenderly. As they kissed, miniature stars popped into being all around their faces. When their lips separated, the stars stopped popping. Jim and Rhasha both had their eyes closed and didn’t see the stars. They turned and faced the audience, holding hands. They bowed to each other and then to the audience. Jim told the audience he and Rhasha had enjoyed singing for them. “You’re a good audience,” he said. “Thank you for coming.”
