The Scarlet Cord
1: Doomed to die, a sinner was I
So far removed from God's chosen
Jericho, the first to fall
Before God's holy children
But, I saw the spies
Invited them inside
I hid them from danger
And somehow found favor
2: What relief, I couldn't believe
The promise I'd been given
Down they climbed the scarlet line
The token of my freedom
And all my hope
Was in that scarlet cord
It reassured me
I'd found God's mercy
Cho 1:
The scarlet cord reaches to the lowly
And lifts them up to places that are holy
I am whole, I am free,
I never thought that it could be!
Everything I'd dreamed of and more
Was made possible by the scarlet cord
3: Even if you feel your sin
Is far beyond forgiveness
You can't see how you could be
Released from your uncleanness
But, if you can trust
In Jesus' precious blood
At Calvary given -
His grace extended
Cho 2:
The scarlet cord reaches to the lowly
And lifts them up to places that are holy
No more sin, no more shame
His blood can make you new again
Everything you've dreamed of and more
Is made possible by the scarlet cord
Bridge: No stain is too deep
No stranger too far
That the blood of the Lamb
Can't reach to where we are
End Cho:
The scarlet cord reaches to the lowly
And lifts them up to places that are holy
———Key Change———
We are whole, We are free
We never thought that it could be
Everything we dreamed of and more
Is made possible (possible)
By the scarlet cord (the scarlet cord, cord)
