Livin' in the country, livin' in the city
It's all the same in this crazy world
The satellite tube, the picture ain't pretty
Rest your heart while the planet twirls
A lot of people worry, A lot of troubled people
Just don't know how the story ends
"Save Mother Earth, try to do your duty"
And that's okay, but there's more, my friend
On the edge of your seat
You can know who's in control
When the ride's complete
You can rest your weary soul
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored with the savior's blood
Without it, we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
And it won't break and it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread, yeah
Climbin' up the ladder, climbin' down the gutter
We see it all in this tug of war
The brink of madness, the ship's got a rudder
The captain is Jesus, and He is the Lord
'Til the Lord comes callin'
The world's gonna pay some dues, yeah
You can know He's comin'
You can trust the gospel news
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored with the savior's blood
Without it, we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
And it won't break, it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread
Scarlet thread
Hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored by the savior's blood
Without it, we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
It won't break and it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread
Hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored by the savior's blood
Without it, we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
It won't break and it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread
By a scarlet thread
We're hangin' on, yeah
By a scarlet thread
By a scarlet thread
