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 inspite
  of the tears for us you've shed
  Doesn't matter what color youare
  As long as your blood was red
    [Chorus]
  For it's strong enough
  to wash away my sins
  And it's pure enough
  To cleanse me deep within
  And it's real enough
  To find me when I'm lost
  Great enough
  To die upon the cross
  It doesn't matter what color you are
  As long as your blood was red
    We may be different but
  The God we serve's the same
  Yet every Sunday we separate
  And bring the Father pain
  Your name is higher than any other
  Yet You took my place instead
  And now my sins are washed away
  Because Your blood was red
    [Chorus]
  For it's strong enough
  To wash away my sins
  And it's pure enough
  To cleanse me deep within
  And it's real enough
  To find me when I'm lost
