JOY
When I was just a little child
No higher than your knee
My mother bought a box of crayons, just for me
I picked them up, I opened them up
I looked way down inside
The colors there reminded me
Of Jesus when He died
-chorus-
Chorus:
Red is the color of the blood that He shed
Brown is for the crown of thorns
They laid upon His head
Blue is for royalty in Him did dwell
Yellow is for christians, afraid to tell
I colored and I colored
Till those crayons were all gone
And as I grow and grow and grow
The memory lingers on
Now every time I see a child
With crayon box in hand
I tell him what they mean to me
And hope he'll understand
-chorus-
Afraid to tell of a Savior
Who died on calvary
Who died for lowly sinners
Just like you and me
And some day soon He's coming back
So we can all go home
And the colors in that crayon box
Then will all be know
-chorus-
