Crimson Stains lyrics

Lyrics written by: Chelsea Kimball (for The Project, to go along with the painting drama)

"Where is there hope?
Is there hope in me?
Hope in a lost broken soul looking to be set free?

I’m covered in guilt. Blood on my hands.
Stains that remain. Nothing but regret.

These crimson stains
Like chains that bind
Yelling and screaming always to remind me

That my good is never good enough
That these stains have left me empty inside.

I’ve tried so hard to hide them.
I’ve tried so hard to bury them away, to somehow ease the pain.
I’ve tried so hard to cover them all.

But they keep building up -- one by one.
They keep building up -- one by one,
By one.

I find myself helpless
As I close my eyes
Look deep down inside and stare into this darkness.

A wall I can’t ignore. A wall I can’t avoid.
These stains separate me from the light.

I’ve tried so hard to hide them.

I’ve tried so hard to bury them away, to somehow ease the pain.
I’ve tried so hard to cover them all.

So I give them up -- one by one.
So I give them up -- one by one
Yes, I give them up -- one by one.

You’ve called me out of this darkness and into Your light
You took this old, broken sinner and made me new in Your sight
You drew me out of deep waters and left my sin behind.

What a wonderful sound.

These chains have been broken. My slate wiped clean.
And my sin drowning at the bottom of this ocean.

Your grace over me
Like a flood of relief
Washing over these stains that I couldn’t let go of.

You call me your child
Your forgiveness overwhelms me.
Your love overwhelms me.

What a wonderful sound.
My hope has been found

You take them all -- one by one."

face to face

a conversation between satan and Jesus...Satan wants to make sure we feel guilty and full of shame...Jesus wants us to be free of it because Jesus loves us...and always will.

7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
"Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
12Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea,because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short."
-Revelations 12:7-12

crimson stains

this is the end of the show...its a drama with paint we put together to a song that Chelsea Kimball wrote for the Project. Powerful lyrics to beautiful music - she did a GREAT job and the painters did amazing too. its a picture of how we have these things in our lives we try so hard to hide - but we can't. they are always there...and when Jesus comes and tries to help - we try to cover it up, pretend like its ok, but all we manage to do is make it worse...make it messier. and until we stop, and give it up to Him...we will never find rest. He is the only one who can take it all and make us new...
