Red Runs White
Redemption's Radiance: A Joyful Journey in Christ
Lyrics
God of mercy, so high and holy
Acknowledgment of God's mercy, transcendence, and holiness
Made Himself lowly to bring us life
God humbled Himself to grant humanity life
God of grace, He calls His bride lovely
God regards His followers as beautiful and beloved
By love pursues, He defends, and sanctifies
God's love actively pursues, protects, and purifies His followers
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Expressing joy in being united with Christ
Our sin destroyed as red runs white
Symbolism of sin being eradicated as symbolized by red turning to white
We're not our own, but wholly Thine
Recognition that believers belong entirely to God
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Reiteration of the joy experienced in Christ
God all knowing, our strength through suffering
Acknowledgment of God's omniscience and reliance on God in times of suffering
Though battles bruise us, the war is won
Despite struggles, the ultimate victory is assured through God
God of blessing, each hour sustaining
God as the source of blessings and sustenance in every moment
Our ark of safety above temporal floods
Depiction of God as a refuge amidst life's storms and chaos
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Reiteration of the joy found in Christ
Our sin destroyed as red runs white
Repetition of the symbolic cleansing of sin
We're not our own, but wholly Thine
Emphasis on belonging entirely to God
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Reaffirmation of the joy experienced in Christ
Oh what triumph to abide in Christ
Highlighting the triumph and fulfillment found in abiding in Christ
All the saints within His will delight
Recognition that those within God's will find delight
With the gospel etched upon our souls
Living lives marked by the message and teachings of the gospel
Daily we die, letting Christ take control
Continuous surrender to Christ's authority and guidance in life
(In Him I delight)
A personal affirmation of finding joy in Christ
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Reiteration of the joy experienced in being united with Christ
Our sin destroyed as red runs white
Repetition of the symbolic cleansing of sin through Christ
We're not our own, but wholly Thine
Restating the complete belongingness to God
Oh what a joy to be in Christ
Reaffirmation of the joy found in being united with Christ
