Album: Raised On Red
I first learned about Jesus
In an old country chapel
Surrounded by people who believed
What that preacher man was preaching
From an old worn out bible
That brought hope to all who received
So clear and simple without any questions
Making right and wrong easy to see
Now some say we were mistaken
What the manuscript was saying
Yet that written word of God is still clear to me
So clear to me
No I can't find gray
Its all black white and red
The scriptures still the same
It still says what it did then
From the prophets of old
Who were called and spirit-filled
Gave us that living word
That was given to them
Some lost their lives and blood was shed
Yet they wouldn't bow or wouldn't give in
For that old black white and red
I'm not seeking for a new way
that seems right in theses days
I choose to stay with what Got me here
Its given light to my darkness
And to the path I travel
Changing my uncertain steps to clear
You know I love the plain and simple
Answers to my questions
Making right and wrong easy to see
I'm not looking for any changing
What the word of God is saying
That old ancient Bible still works for me
It's still working for me
No I can't find gray
Its all black white and red
The scriptures still the same
It still says what it did then
From the prophets of old
Who were called and spirit-filled
Gave us that living word
That was given to them
Some lost their lives and blood was shed
Yet they wouldn't bow or wouldn't give in
For that old black white and red
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Some lost their lives and blood was shed
Yet they wouldn't bow or wouldn't give in
For that old black white and red
For that old black white and red
For that old black white and red
