Lyrics
Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC [Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison] The red cord stayed in the window The red cord stayed in the window While the walls came down The red cord stayed in the window Rahab believed Before she could see The God of Israel Would set her family free The red cord stayed in the window The red cord stayed in the window When judgment touched the city Mercy knew the house [Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies] Bring your father Bring your brothers Bring your sisters Gather together Stay in the house Under the sign God made a promise And mercy drew the line One scarlet cord One faithful word One house marked And heaven remembered [Chorus – Tight Choir Snaps, Brass Hits] The red cord stayed in the window The red cord stayed in the window Jericho started shaking But grace held that window Walls on the left Walls on the right But the house under mercy Was still standing upright The red cord stayed in the window The red cord stayed in the window When everything around her fell God kept the house [Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes] City fell House stood Walls broke God was good Fear came Faith stayed Red cord Marked the way She hid the spies She trusted their God Faith gave Rahab A place with the called Not forgotten Not cast away Mercy brought her family Into a brand-new day [Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove] Cord in the window Cord in the window Keep it there Keep it there Promise in the window Mercy in the window Keep it there Keep it there Walls down House stood Walls down God was good City shook Faith held Jericho fell But mercy prevailed Red cord Red cord Marking the house Red cord Red cord Mercy knew the house Bring them in Bring them in Gather everyone in Bring them in Bring them in Let the rescue begin [Choir Run – Tight Vocal Changes] She believed God remembered She obeyed God defended She stood firm God preserved her She chose faith God received her From the wall To the promise From the city To the people Rahab found A brand-new name Mercy changed Her family's story [Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution] The trumpets sounded The walls came low But one scarlet promise Still continued to show Rahab believed And heaven confirmed When judgment passed through Her household was preserved The red cord stayed in the window The red cord stayed in the window [Final Choir Hit] Mercy knew the house!
