In Jericho, a woman weeps
Her heart consumed with fear
The city soon would be destroyed
She knew her end was near.
She thought about the things she'd done
And the way she lived her life
Would God have mercy on her soul?
She couldn't reason why.
Then the messengers told of a way
To escape what she deserved
A thread of scarlet in the window
And her life would be preserved.
The Scarlet Cord brought salvation
To Rahab's house that day
And it would stand as a picture
Of the price our Lord would pay.
If you're looking for a way out
Of the Judgement that awaits
The Scarlet Cord of Jesus Blood
Is the only way.
I tried my best but could not sleep
By doubt and fear oppressed
Death could come at any time
But after that what next?
I thought about the things I've done
And the way I lived my life
Would God have mercy on my soul?
I could not reason why.
But God's Word told me of the One
Who died on Calvary
Jesus shed His precious Blood
It's a Scarlet Cord for me.
The Scarlet Cord brought salvation
To Rahab's house that day
And it would stand as a picture
Of the price our Lord would pay.
If you're looking for a way out
Of the Judgement that awaits
The Scarlet Cord of Jesus Blood
Is the only way.
If you're looking for a way out
Of the Judgement that awaits
Oooo...
The Scarlet Cord of Jesus Blood
It's still the only way.
