So many different religions And so many different churches And if God really loves me Then why does life keep hurting me? Have you ever asked any of these questions? Well my friend I’ve got the answer just listen
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 in spite of the tears for us you’ve shed Doesn’t matter what color you are As long as your blood was red
[Chorus] 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
(Repeat chorus)
Oh precious is the flow That makes me white as snow No other fount I know Doesn’t matter what color you are As long as your blood was red Doesn’t matter what color you are As you are as long as your blood was red Doesn’t matter what color I am As long as my blood was red
