D
Red is the color of the blood that flowed
         C       G                    D
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
D
He’s the perfect man, He’s the Lord’s own son,
         C       G                  D
He’s the Lamb of God, He’s the only one
         C       G                      D
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
         C        G               D
That can make the love between us flow.

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

D
Gold is the color of the morning sun
     C         G               D
That shines so freely on every one
D
It’s the sun above that keeps us warm
    C      G                   D
The Son of love that calms the storm
         C       G                     D
That can give us life that can make us grow,
         C        G             D
That can turn our mornings into gold.

E
Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
         D      A                   E
When the winter comes to the barren trees
E
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
            D        A                         E
And there’s just one God, and there’s just one man
         D       A                      E
That can give us life, that can make us grow
         D        A                E
That can make our sins as white as snow
         D       A                      E
That can give us life, that can make us grow
         D        A             E
That can turn our mornings into gold.
         D       A                      E
That can give us life, that can make us grow
         D        A                   E
That can keep our hearts from growing cold.
         D       A                      E
That can give us life, that can make us grow
         D        A               E
That can make the love between us flow.
