Scarlet Cord Lyrics & Chords

By Southern Raised Bluegrass

(Am)In Jericho, a (G)woman weeps

Her (Am)heart consumed with fear

The city soon would (G)be destroyed

She (F)knew her (G)end was (Am)near.



(Am)She thought about the (G)things she'd done

And the (Am)way she lived her life

Would God have mercy (G)on her soul?

She (F)couldn't (G)reason (Am)why.



(Am)Then the messengers told (G)of a way

To (Am)escape what she deserved

A thread of scarlet in the (G)window

And her (F)life would (G)be pre(Am)served.



Refrain

The (C)Scarlet Cord brought sal(G)vation

To (F)Rahab's house that (C)day

And it would (F)stand as a (C)picture

Of the price our Lord would (G)pay.

(C)If you're looking for (F)a (G)way out

Of the (F)Judgement that (Am)awaits

The (F)Scarlet Cord of (C)Jesus (G)Blood

Is the only (Am)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.
