Verso 1

Moving from the gates of Eden
God made garments from the skin
Of a beast that died to show
The cov’ring we would need for sin

Verso 2

Abraham on Mount Moriah
With an altar but no lamb
Lifts his knife to offer Isaac
But then God provides the ram

Refrão

Oh what love poured out
Across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness
Running red
Oh what mercy there
Upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver
Of the scarlet thread

Verso 3

Crimson stains around the doorway
As the angel’s shadow fell
Safe from judgment death passed over
All the sons of Israel

Verso 4

Rope of red a sign of promise
From a window in the wall
Rahab’s family to be rescued
When old Jericho would fall

Refrão

Oh what love poured out
Across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness
Running red
Oh what mercy there
Upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver
Of the scarlet thread

Verso 5

Every priest within the temple
Sees the bloodshed knows the cost
Every lamb on every altar
Pointing us toward the cross

Verso 6

For the cross speaks once forever
Once to heal and overthrow
Every sin that left us scarlet
So He made us white as snow

Refrão

Oh what love poured out
Across the ages
All of heaven’s kindness
Running red
Oh what mercy there
Upon the pages
All God’s children praise the weaver
Of the scarlet thread

Repete

All God’s children praise the weaver
Of the scarlet thread
