The Coloring Song Lyrics

Artist: Petra
Album: Never Say Die

Words and music by Dave Eden

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 every one
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 is 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.

It's not "mornings"; it's "mournings". This completely changes the meaning of the song, and the depth of meaning, which is what gives the song it's notes of healing and new life in Christ. Nobody on these song lyrics sites knows the correct word. Now at least YOU do. Thanks for listening.
