CRIMSON


Crimson is the color of the blood
shed for you and me
Shed two thousand years ago
on a hill called Mt. Calvary

God showed His love
and His Grace
To us --
an undeserving race

He left us here to be
His arms to give hugs,
His feet to go and tell
of His love to a lost and
dying world
.
Crimson is the color of the rose
that grows as an expression of
His love for us
He tells us to share
this good news we bare

to all the world
that He cares
He's gone up above
to make us a home up there
He sent His Spirit
to us here below

So that we might share
of His love from there
in Glory
So as we're here below
its our job to tell others
of His love so pure and
of Heaven so bright

While we're here
we have to tell the story
of Christ's love
and our home with Him in Glory
.
If we won't share of this love
then who will
It's our job as God's sons and daughters
to share the story of what happened to His Son
on a Cross over two thousand years ago

While we're here we must share
So we won't be held responsible
for friends and loved ones

We don't want them to hell
so we must tell them the Gospel
God wants us to tell our friends
here below
of Him up above

He was beaten and bruised and killed
due to His love for us
but we won't tell
the story of His love
how He left His home above

Or a walk up a street called
Galgatha on His way to His death
He didn't complain
only pray for God's will to be done

Crimson is the color of the blood
shed for you and me
Shed two thousand years ago
on a hill called Mt. Calvary

How often do we forget the price
He paid for us--
It was His life
due to His love for us
.
I don't know what he is to you
but to me He's Master,
Savior, Friend, Comforter,
Lord, King, Prince of Peace,
Ruler of my heart, Rose of Sharon,
Bright Morning Star,
He's my all and He's my everything.
