"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."
~ John 15:12 (NKJV)
Reconciliation was and is the work of God. In every way, the Lord Jesus worked to bring reconciliation between God and mankind, among people. The difficulties in our life which God allows draw us to His throne in prayer, and compel us to work together for resolution and unity.
True unity is of another, unseen world. We learn it from the things of this world which are seen. We see birth and death that we might understand a bigger circle which unifies.
We see colors, that we might better understand the God Who is all colors of light—Who visited the earth as Son of Man and allowed us to glimpse purest love.
The Coloring Song
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 everyone,
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

ReplyDeleteThis Technicolor God buckles me at the knees.
ReplyDeleteAnd Anne ... you show your true colors here. You reflect Him well!
Love, Jennifer
Who put this montage together!? I love it. Especially since I wrote this song! In '72, I was a newly rescued hippie, working in a factory with colors all around. I asked Jesus for a witness tune for children & for scholars that might be profoundly simple & simply profound. We played it in our band from Indy called E (71-74). Our singer GregXVolz took it to Petra later & my, how God's used it! Just reading all these comments from believers, seekers & kids makes me cry... & thank Jesus forever.
