Red Is For The Blood

We had the privilege this past Sunday of being led in worship by the Andrew Brown Band.  They are amazing and I wanted to share the lyrics of this song written by Andrew.  He had been on a mission trip in Africa, speaking with a little girl about salvation bracelets.  She was explaining to him what all the colors in the bracelet meant and when she came to the red one, she said, "this is the red one.  It's for the blood of Jesus.  And it's my favorite." He said: "it's my favorite too".  He wrote this song when he returned home.  It's a beautiful song and perfect for this Holy Week.  You can find them on iTunes.

Red Is For The Blood

Who am I

That You would know my name

Come and die

To take this sinner's place

Give your life

To save this broken race

I am Yours

Here I stand

At the Cross where You bled

Covered in love

Covered in red

Red is for the blood

For the love

For the mercy pouring down

For the One

Took my nails

Took my sin

Took my crown

It's for the Father 

Who would NOT give up

Until this one was found

It's for the blood of Jesus

Red is for the blood

It's for Your blood

You have eyes

To see what I can't see

Search through time

To the heart of me

Crucified

To set this captive free

Now I'm Yours

Here I stand

At the Cross where You bled

Covered in love

Covered in red

Red is for the blood

For the love

For the mercy pouring down

For the One

Took my nails

Took my sin

Took my crown

It's for the Father

Who would NOT give up

Until this one was found

It's for the blood of Jesus

Red is for the blood

It's for Your blood
