Scarlet Thread

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
