Garnet Colored Ribbons
Our royal inheritance
Tied with bow
When from His wounds
The blood did flow
Each drop ran beneath
The thorny crown
Garnet colored ribbons
Came cascading down
Arms open wide
He understood
Nails driven through flesh
Deep into wood
When they lifted His cross
Put it into place
He looked over the crowd
And saw my face
He willingly died
I was filled with shame
He saved me from all
He took the blame
When He took
His last breath
Salvation came
Through His death
I accepted His gift
No man could tear apart
Garnet colored ribbons
Now cascade, through my heart
Tied with bow
When from His wounds
The blood did flow
Each drop ran beneath
The thorny crown
Garnet colored ribbons
Came cascading down
Arms open wide
He understood
Nails driven through flesh
Deep into wood
When they lifted His cross
Put it into place
He looked over the crowd
And saw my face
He willingly died
I was filled with shame
He saved me from all
He took the blame
When He took
His last breath
Salvation came
Through His death
I accepted His gift
No man could tear apart
Garnet colored ribbons
Now cascade, through my heart
