Your Blood Was Red

People & Songs build the chorus around a stark color contrast — "Your blood was red, my heart was black, You made it white, You made it live." The image reaches for Isaiah 1:18's promise that sins "red like crimson" will become "as white as snow," color used as shorthand for a change deeper than appearance.

"The old has died away, now I am alive in You" lifts 2 Corinthians 5:17 nearly word for word — "the old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." "Who else but You could raise me from the deep to victory" closes the bridge with a question left unanswered on purpose, the song's whole structure built to make clear there isn't a second name that could fill in the blank.
