The Color Of Love

Flesh was the color,
of the saviour that was born
Layed in a manger,
On that first Christmas morn
Black was the color,
of the hearts that Jesus saw
He could see the sin ,
That lies within,
The hearts of us all
And red was the color,
of the anger Jesus wore,
when he found his Fathers temple
Turned into a store
These are colors of life
The Creator has painted
From the beginning of time
His brush never faded
From the newness of Spring
Till the harvest of Fall
The creator of color
Has colored it all
Green was the color
Of jealousy among the Priest
You see when Jesus spoke
The seas were calmed
And the winds, they had to cease
Silver was the color
Of the coin that they paid
And with a single kiss from Judas
Jesus was betrayed
And scarlett was the color
Of the robe that they used
With a piercing crown
And a sign that read
King Of The Jews
These are colors of life
The creator has painted
From the beginning of time
His brush never faded
From the newness Of Spring
Till the harvest in Fall
The Creator of color
Has colored it all
But the color of love
Is the color of blood
And it comes from the vein
Of the one that was slain
As the nails , they were driven
The sacrifice given
God sent us his love
In the color of blood
