Lyrics
I See the Color Red
2/14/07 ©2007 teddy james o?farrell
When I read the pages about Your life
I discover as I spend some time
praying and thinking about the words that you said,
trying to make sense of it all
I see the color red
reaching out to me
I see the color red, it?s flowing
I see the color red
from your hands and your feet, the scars where you bled
I see the color red
There are times when I try to put it out of my mind as I go through my day
as I live my life
but it?s hard to forget just what you did
you gave your life for me (chorus)
bridge
He who believes - He who receives has eternal life
I want to believe, I want to live I want to be like Christ
I heard love was the reason why you took all my sins on the cross to die
that i might be free, cleansed within, washed by the blood of the lamb
(chorus)
