[Verse]
It’s the living water that flows through us all
It can rise like a fever, drive you up a wall
My granddaddy shed it to keep us free
But it never meant a damn to me
[Verse]
Til I read it one day and it came together
In a stack of paper bound in leather
I didn’t know that I was dead
Till I saw that paper stained in red
[Pre Chorus]
It’s not the ink in a printer that makes it red
[Chorus]
It’s the blood he sweat when he wept for me
It’s the blood that came from a rugged tree
When they tore him up and pushed him around, dragging his body on the broken ground that soaked up what would become the words I read
It the life he gave to make me greater
It’s His blood on paper
[Verse]
It’s not what I lost but what I found
That came turned me upside down
It’s not the things I did that He loved
But that He knew that i would trust His blood
[Pre Chorus]
The blood that he shed that set me free
[Chorus]
It’s the blood he sweat when he wept for me
It’s the blood that came from a rugged tree
When they tore him up and pushed him around, dragging his body on the broken ground that soaked up what would become the words I read
It the life he gave to make me greater
It’s His blood on paper
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I never knew what it was, but at least I knew sooner than later
That it’s His blood that makes the red on the paper
