The Coloring Song

(album: Never Say Die - 1981)

Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of someone who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son
He's the lamb of God, He's the only one
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow

Blue is the color of a heart so cold
That will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold

Gold is the color of the morning sun
that shines so freely on everyone
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of Love that calms the storm
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there death, there is a plan
And there's just one God and there's just one man
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow

That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
That can give us life that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
That can give us life that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow
