The Blood Song

You have the power

To make the seasons change

The river flows for you

The wind whispers Your name

For me you left Your throne

And traded crown for thorns instead

I'm safe within not by Your skin

But because Your blood was red

Some say You're black, you're white

They question if you're real

We treat you like we treat ourselves

I wonder how you feel

To see your children fight inspite

of the tears for us you've shed

Doesn't matter what color youare

As long as your blood was red

For it's strong enough

to wash away my sins

And it's pure enough

To cleanse me deep within

And it's real enough

To find me when I'm lost

Great enough

To die upon the cross

It doesn't matter what color you are

As long as your blood was red

We may be different but

The God we serve's the same

Yet every Sunday we separate

And bring the Father pain

Your name is higher than any other

Yet You took my place instead

And now my sins are washed away

Because Your blood was red

For it's strong enough

To wash away my sins

And it's pure enough

To cleanse me deep within

And it's real enough

To find me when I'm lost
