The Blood Song

by Kirk Franklin

[Intro: Kirk Franklin] So many different religions and So many different churches and If God really loves me Then why does life keep hurting me? Have you ever asked any of these questions? Well my friend I've got the answer Just listen You have the power To make the seasons change The river flows for you The wind whispers Your name For me you left Your throne And traded crown for thorns instead I'm safe 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 color you are As long as your blood was red
