• Song Title: The Blood Song
• Album: The Rebirth Of Kirk Franklin

You have the power to make the seasons change
The river flows for You
The wind whisperes Your name
For me You left Your throne and traded crown for thorns instead
I'm saved within not by Your skin
But because Your blood was red

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 the tears for us You've shed
Doesn't matter what colour 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
Great enough To die upon the cross
It doesn't matter what colour You are
As long as Your blood was red

We may be different but The God we serve's the same
Yet every Sunday we separate 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/Vamp
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount' I know
It doesn't matter what colour You are
As long as Your blood was red
