Without

Without Your stripes, there would be no healing.
A bloody thrashing, but You were willing.
Without Your blood, there would be no cleansing.
Only filth, never-ending.
Without Your death, there would be no life.
There would be no peace, for our strife.
Without You rising once again.
We'd have no forgiveness of our sin.
