1st Verse:

When

GI was just a Dlittle child,
No Ghigher than your Cknee,
my Gmama bought a Dbox of crayons,
CJust for Gme.
So I Gpicked them up and I Dopened them
and I Glooked way down in-Cside
and the Gcolors they re-Dminded me of
CJesus when He Gdied…

Chorus

CRed is the color of the
Gblood that He shed and
DBrown is for the crown of thorns they
CLaid upon His Ghead.
CBlue is for the royalty
with-Gin Him that dwells and
DYellow’s for the Christian
CWho’s afraid to Gtell.

2nd Verse:

So I

Gcolored, and I Dcolored,
till my Gcrayons, they were all Cgone
and Gthough I am much Dolder now my
CMem’ry lingers Gon.
So Gwhen I see a Dlittle child,
with a Gcrayon box in their Chand,
I Gtell them all the Dcolors and I
CHope they under-Gstand:
[Chorus]

3rd Verse:

GAfraid to tell of a DSaviour, Who
GDied on Calva-Cry,
Who Gdied for all the Dsinners like
CYou and Gme.
He’s Gcoming back a-Dgain someday
to Gbe our CKing
and the Gcolors of the Dcrayon box
CWe will Gsing:
[Chorus]

Ending:

So

Ddon’t you be that Christian,
CWho’s afraid to Gtell.

    When my oldest daughter was a baby, I would sing her to sleep every night. I wrote my own verse to this song:
    Now when I think of God’s pure love,
    How He sent His Son to die
    For me upon the cross that day,
    I break down and cry.
    For Jesus loved this child so,
    He gave His life for me,
    How thankful I am for God’s gift
    Of Eternity.

    I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

    This song was my daughters first solo in church. I cried through the whole thing. That was years ago. I wish more kids and parents knew this song and truly understood it’s meaning.
