Couplet 1

Lord I confess
That I've been a criminal
I've stolen Your breath
And sang my own song

Couplet 2

And Lord I confess
That I'm far from innocent
These shackles I wear
Oh I bought on my own

Refrain

The scarlet sins had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that old rugged Cross
An empty slate at the empty grave
Thank God that stone was rolled away

Couplet 3

Lord I confess
I've been a prodigal
Made for Your house
But I walked my own roads

Couplet 4

Then Jesus came
He tore down my prison walls
Death came to life
When He called me by name

Refrain

The scarlet sins had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that old rugged Cross
An empty slate at the empty grave
Thank God that stone was rolled

Refrain

The scarlet sins had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that old rugged Cross
An empty slate at the empty grave
Thank God that stone was rolled away

Pont 1

And I see bright crimson robes
Draped over the ashes
A wide open tomb
Where there should be a casket
The children are singing
And dancing and laughing
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming

Pont 2

Roses in bloom
Pushed up from the embers
Our rivers of tears
Flow from good times remembered
Families are singing
And dancing and laughing
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming

Pont 3

Heaven joins in with a glorious sound
And the great cloud of witnesses
All gather 'round
'Cause the ones that were lost are finally found
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming

Refrain

The scarlet sins had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that old rugged Cross
An empty slate at the empty grave
Thank God that stone was rolled
