Intro
Verse 1
Lord I confess
That I've been a criminal
I've stolen Your breath
And sang my own song
And Lord I confess
That I'm far from innocent
These shackles I wear
Oh I bought on my own
That I've been a criminal
I've stolen Your breath
And sang my own song
And Lord I confess
That I'm far from innocent
These shackles I wear
Oh I bought on my own
Chorus 1
These scarlet sins
Had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that
Old rugged cross
An empty slate at
The empty grave
Thank God that stone was
rolled away
Had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that
Old rugged cross
An empty slate at
The empty grave
Thank God that stone was
rolled away
Verse 2
Lord I confess
I've been a prodigal
Made for Your house
But I walked my own roads
Then Jesus came
He tore down my prison walls
Death came to life
When He called me by name
I've been a prodigal
Made for Your house
But I walked my own roads
Then Jesus came
He tore down my prison walls
Death came to life
When He called me by name
Chorus 1
These scarlet sins
Had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that
Old rugged cross
An empty slate at
The empty grave
Thank God that stone was
rolled
Had a crimson cost
You nailed my debt to that
Old rugged cross
An empty slate at
The empty grave
Thank God that stone was
rolled
Chorus 1

I see bright crimson robes
Draped over the ashes
A wide open tomb where there
Should be a casket

Dancing and laughing
The Father is welcoming

Homecoming - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song Homecoming by Bethel Music is a beautiful reminder of the grace and mercy of God. The lyrics speak of the confession of our sins and the cost of our redemption. The chorus speaks of the scarlet sins that had a crimson cost, and how Jesus nailed our debt to the old rugged cross. This is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross.
The Bible speaks of this sacrifice in many places, but one of the most powerful is in Isaiah 53:5-6 which says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
The song also speaks of the empty grave and the stone that was rolled away. This is a reminder of the resurrection of Jesus and the hope that we have in Him. The Bible speaks of this in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 which says, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The song Homecoming is a beautiful reminder of the grace and mercy of God and the hope that we have in Jesus. We can be thankful that Jesus paid the price for our sins and that we can have a homecoming with Him.
