THE COLOR OF LOVE

That yellow-bellied snake in Eden,

A green-eyed monster became.

The blackness of sin came to the world,

Through Satan, the serpent’s name.

Sin-blackened hearts only make us blue,

So hate sin with a purple passion.

If you want your heart to be tickled pink,

Remember, Christ offers full salvation.

A colorful arch in the sky,

Reminds us the whole earth won’t flood.

Our sins are now drowned in a crimson sea;

When they’re baptized into Christ’s blood.

To make our hearts as white as snow,

Christ came from heaven above,

To bear our stripes and shed His blood;

That’s why red is the color of love.

Now we can enter those pearly gates,

To a jeweled mansion, I’m told.

And while angels strum upon their harps,

We’ll walk on streets of gold.
