Lord, I confess
That I've been a criminal
I've stolen Your breath
And sang my own song
Lord, I confess
That I'm far from innocent
These shackles I wear
I bought on my own

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

Lord, I confess
That I've been a prodigal
Made for Your house
But I walked my own roads
Then Jesus came
And He tore down my prison walls
Death came to life
When He called me by name

Scarlеt 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
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

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

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

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

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming
