Scarlet Thread lyrics by Keith and Kristyn Getty
VERSE 1
Moving from the gates of Eden
God made garments from the skin
Of a beast that died to show
The cov’ring we would need for sin
VERSE 2
Abraham on Mount Moriah
With an altar but no lamb
Lifts his knife to offer Isaac
But then God provides the ram
CHORUS
Oh, what love poured out across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness running red
Oh, what mercy there upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver of the scarlet thread
VERSE 3
Crimson stains around the doorway
As the angel’s shadow fell
Safe from judgement death passed over
All the sons of Israel
VERSE 4
Rope of red, a sign of promise
From a window in the wall
Rahab’s family to be rescued
When old Jericho would fall
CHORUS
Oh, what love poured out across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness running red
Oh, what mercy there upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver of the scarlet thread
VERSE 5
Every priest within the temple
Sees the bloodshed, knows the cost
Every lamb on every altar
Pointing us toward the cross
VERSE 6
For the cross speaks once forever
Once to heal and overthrow
Every sin that left us scarlet
So He’d made us white as snow
CHORUS
Oh, what love poured out across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness running red
Oh, what mercy there upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver of the scarlet thread
Oh, what love poured out across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness running red
Oh, what mercy there upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver of the scarlet thread
All God’s children praise the weaver of the scarlet thread
