The Red Words

Tom: F

F                               A#
The Bible says that we're all equal
F                                    C
But I've seen times when that ain't true
F                                        A#
'Cause I've been good and I've been evil
F             C         F
And I've been forgiven too
F                                  A#
I've learned that you can't fight life
F                                   C
I've learned the truth can set you free
F                          A#
The one I love and most admire
F         C                 F
Is lyin' right here next to me
F                          A#
Well, she's the best in conversation
F                         C
I've never seen her turn away
F                A#
She's an open invitation
F              C                 F
Just like the Bible's red words say

[Chorus]

A#                     F
The red words cut the deepest
A#                    F
The red words are the call
A#                       F
The red words come from Jesus
Gm                      C
And they mean the most of all

[Verse 2]

F                             A#
She'd take a bullet for her children
F                             C
She'd give 'em all her last breath
F                             A#
Always there and always willing
F           C          F      C F
A mother's love never rests
F                                A#
And I know black's her favorite color
F                             C
'Cause without it there's no depth
F                                   A#
She says she loves me like no other
F               C         F
I think I know why Jesus wept

[Chorus]

A#                      F
The red words cut the deepest
A#                     F
The red words are the call
A#                       F
The red words come from Jesus
Gm                      C      C7
And they mean the most of all

[Bridge]

F                              A#
Let's show some kindness to a stranger
F                    C
And be grateful for today
F                         A#
Open up your family Bible
F         C                  F
And read what the red words say
F                         A#
Well, open up your family Bible
F        C                   F
And read what the red words say
