Every Color

White is the lamb who died in our place

Crimson the blood that was shed by grace

Gold is HisÝ mighty mercy seat

Blue is the sky where soon we'll meet

Dark was the crossÝ where Jesus died

Black was the sin that was crucified

Grey was the stone that sealed His grave

Deep was the darkness of that cave

We areÝ covered in a coat of many aÝ varied hue

We can apprehend each one in this world we view

And every shade will tell salvation's story

Every color can remind us of the beauty of His glory.

Ý

Scarlet, the blood that Jesus bled

Brown is the blessed and broken bread

Red was the cup of covenant wine

Green is the true and living vine

Silver is the crown that was givenÝ to me

Purple the robes of royalty

Amber the fire that burns in my bones

These are all within His rainbow shown

We areÝ covered in a coat of many aÝ varied hue

We can apprehend each one in this world we view

And every shade will tell salvation's story

Every color can remind us of the beauty of His glory.
