[Verse 1]
C                   Am
Lord,I confess That I've been a criminal
F
I've stolen Your breath
G
And sang my own song
C
And Lord, I confess
Am
That I'm far from innocent
F                   G
These shackles I wear I bought on my own

[Chorus]
C                     F
Scarlet sins had a crimson cost
Am
You nailed my debt
G
to that old rugged cross
Am                  F
An empty slate, at the empty grave
C/E                   G     C
Thank God that stone was rolled (away)

[Verse 2]
C              Am
Lord, I confess I've been the prodigal
F
Made for Your house
Am         G
but I walked my own roads
C
Then Jesus came
Em            Am
He tore down my prison walls
F
Death came to life
Am           G
When He called me by name

[Chorus]
C                     F
Scarlet sins had a crimson cost
Am
You nailed my debt
G
to that old rugged cross
Am                  F
An empty slate, at the empty grave
C/E                   G     C
Thank God that stone was rolled (away)

[Bridge]
C
And I see bright, crimson robes
draped over the ashes
F
A wide, open tomb
where there should be a casket
G
The children are singing,
and dancing, and laughing
F
The Father is welcoming,
this is our homecoming
C
Roses in bloom
pushed up from the embers
F
Our rivers of tears
flow from good times remembered
G
Families are singing,
and dancing, and laughing
F
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming
C
Heaven joins in
with a glorious sound
F
And the great cloud of witnesses
all gather 'round
G
'Cause the ones that were lost
are finally found
F
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming.

[Chorus (alt. chords)]
C                     F
Scarlet sins had a crimson cost
Am
You nailed my debt
G
to that old rugged cross
Am                  Dm
An empty slate, at the empty grave
C/E                   G    C
Thank God that stone was rolled away.

[Outro]
C
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Am
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
F
The Father is welcoming
This is our homecoming.
