Scarlet Robe

A scarlet robe she wore
When they came to her door
The color of her shame
And the names that she bore

Now she’s grown older
Her hair is white as snow
Her life’s been full of strife
Peace, she’s never known
Her mind goes back to
The memories of old
To the years she’s wasted
And a heart that’s grown cold

Someone told her about a man
Who would love her as she is
Who wanted her for her
And not what she could give
She couldn’t believe her ears
And her eyes filled with tears
As He whispered softly
Your sins I forgive

Had she really been forgiven
By the scarlet blood that flows
Her sins were of crimson
The color of her robe
Now were made white
White as winter snow
