THE RED WAVE

 

John 19:32

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

 

          Our nation has just finished electing a new president along with flipping the senate and perhaps the house as well. Some are calling it a “red wave” because the nation spoke with such strength and unity. However, the crimson wave I am thinking about is an old Christian hymn.

 

THE CLEANSING WAVE

Phoebe Palmer, 1807

Oh, now I see the crimson wave!

The fountain deep and wide;

Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,

Points to His wounded side.

 

Refrain:

The cleansing stream I see, I see!

I plunge, and, oh, it cleanseth me!

Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!

It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.

 

Dear Lord, let our nation return to Thee. AMEN
