I kept an inn on Jericho's wall
Heard desert stories every night
Your God split seas, your God won wars
Our city trembled at the sight
Two strangers came and knocked my door
I knew that I had reached my choice
I turned from fear to faith, and lifted up my voice
I hid the men upon my roof
Under the stalks of drying flax
The king's guards came I sent them off
Chase to the ford, you'll bring them back
But in the dark I made a plea
Swear by the Lord to spare my own
A scarlet cord hung in my window
A sign that mercy found my home
When trumpets roared and stones were falling
My house stood by His oath alone
A scarlet cord, and I was counted in
A foreign heart brought near to Him
On the seventh day the earth shook wide
Dust and thunder filled the sky
We huddled close inside my room
And lived while all around us died
We walked out past the shattered gates
Into a people not my own
I was not clean He made me new
I stood outside He brought me through
A scarlet cord hung in my window
The walls came down, His promise stayed
I found a place in Israel's story
From ruin to a house He made
A scarlet cord, remembered by His hand
The God I feared became my friend
They remember me Rahab
from Jericho's wall
to the line of Jesus Rahab
