Lyrics: The Blood Song
Album: The Rebirth Of Kirk Franklin
Artist: Kirk Franklin
 
ft. D. McClurkin, C. Lewis + J. Velasquez

(D.M.)
You have the power
to make the seasons change.
The river flows for you
the wind whispers your name.
For me left your throne
and traded crown for thorns instead.
I’m saved within not by your skin
But because your blood was red.
(C.L.)
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 tears you 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.
(J.V.)
We may be different but
the God we serve’s the same.
Yet every we seperate
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.
(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.
(Vamp)
Oh precious is that 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.

Chorus til end
