RED is my Favourite Colour
If you ask my children what my favourite colour is they will say RED.
If you ask them why, they will say, RED for the BLOOD.
This has long been my mantra whenever I speak of the colour RED.
RED for the BLOOD.
The BLOOD of my Saviour who died for my sins.
The power's in the BLOOD.
RED is bright, vibrant, passionate, filled with emotion and truth.
RED is my favourite colour.
RED for the BLOOD.
When I was a new Christian, I was introduced to Christian music. I was not very fluent in contemporary Christian music at the time, not to say that I am now either! However, a young man in my husband's first pastorate, introduced us to Petra. He gave us a homemade tape with a number of Petra tunes on it. I recall not being overly impressed with many of the songs because I found them too rocky at the time. I would probably love them now! lol In any case, there was one song on there that I simply adored. It was The Coloring Song. That tape is long gone now but on occasion I think of that song.
Here are the lyrics...Click here to listen to the music while you read the lyrics.
The Coloring Song
Artist: Petra
Written by: Dave Eden
(c)1981 Dawn Treader Music
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
It 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.
