Vince Gill – The Red Words lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Bible says that we're all equal
But I've seen times when that ain't true
'Cause I've been good and I've been evil
And I've been forgiven too
I've learned that you can't fight life
I've learned the truth can set you free
The one I love and most admire
Is lyin' right here next to me
Well, she's the best in conversation
I've never seen her turn away
She's an open invitation
Just like the Bible's red words say

[Chorus]
The red words cut the deepest
The red words are the call
The red words come from Jesus
And they mean the most of all

[Verse 2]
She'd take a bullet for her children
She'd give 'em all her last breath
Always there and always willing
A mother's love never rests
And I know black's her favorite color
'Cause without it there's no depth
She says she loves me like no other
I think I know why Jesus wept

[Chorus]
The red words cut the deepest
The red words are the call
The red words come from Jesus
And they mean the most of all

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

[Instrumental Outro]
