It doesn't matter what you've done;
God stands ready to forgive.
He will cleanse of every sin
When your life to Him you give.
Rahab found God's grace was great
To cleanse and set her free.
And God looked deep within her heart
And He used her mightily.
God opened up her eyes to see
His great plan for Jericho.
By faith she saw what was to come
For our God had let her know.
She hid two men that Joshua sent
Upon her roof one day,
Then lowered them down by a rope
And sent them on their way.
She said, "I know your God is God
In Heaven and earth below,
And when you come to take this land
True kindness you will show."
A scarlet cord they gave to her
To place where they could see,
Would bind them to their promise
To protect her family.
So when the walls of Jericho
All fell crashing to the ground,
Rahab and her family
In her home were safely found.
There a scarlet cord was hanging
Clearly from her window sill;
A symbol of God's love and grace,
His promise to fulfill.
God's rich grace and forgiveness
And true mercies ever shine,
For now Rahab was included
In our Savior's family line.
