Coloring Song
Petra Lyrics

Blue is the color of a heart so 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

In the song "The Coloring Song" by Petra, the artist uses colors as metaphors to describe different qualities about God, Jesus Christ, and humanity. The lyrics describe that red symbolizes the blood that Jesus shed for humanity's salvation and how He is the only one who can offer true life and love. Blue is portrayed as the color of a heart that refuses to acknowledge the love of God for a sinful world, emphasizing how closed-off hearts can hinder spiritual growth. Gold represents the Son of God's love that can calm the storms of life and shine its warmth on everyone, ultimately transforming life and making renewed mornings. Lastly, the color brown symbolizes renewal and regeneration, which are under one God and one Man who can bring about spiritual rebirth and renew man's soul.

Overall, Petra's "The Coloring Song" uses the different colors to create beautiful and meaningful musical poetry, which highlights the spiritual qualities of God and Jesus, as well as reminding listeners of the divine nature of our world.

Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Represents the blood shed by Jesus as a symbol of His love for humanity.

Down the face of Someone who loved us so
Jesus loved humanity so much that He was willing to sacrifice His own life for the sake of love.

He's the Perfect Man, He's the Lord's own Son
Refers to Jesus' perfect nature as the Son of God.

He's the Lamb of God, He's the only One
Jesus is the only one who can provide the necessary sacrifice to reconcile humanity to God.

That can give us life, that can make us grow,
Only through Jesus can we find true life and spiritual growth.

That can make the love between us flow
Jesus' sacrifice not only reconciles us to God but creates a sense of unity and love among humanity.

Blue is the color of a heart so cold
Symbolizes humanity's cold and hard-hearted attitude towards God.

That will not bend when the story's told
Humanity has become resistant to hearing about God's love.

Of the Love of God for a sinful race
Jesus' death was a demonstration of God's unconditional love for humanity.

Of the Blood that flowed down Jesus face
The physical sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.

That can keep our hearts from growing cold
Through understanding and accepting God's love, our hearts can be softened.

Gold is the color of the morning sun
Represents the beauty and hope that a new day brings.

That shines so freely on everyone
God's love and grace is available to all without discrimination.

It's the sun above that keeps us warm
God's love provides comfort and warmth in difficult times.

It's the Son of Love that calms the storm
Only Jesus can provide the peace and calm needed during turbulent times.

That can turn our mornings into gold
Through Jesus' sacrificial love, our lives can be transformed into something beautiful.

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
Symbolizes the inevitable cycle of life and death.

When the winter comes to the barren trees
The difficult and barren periods of life when we feel spiritually empty or distant from God.

There is birth there is death there is a plan
God has a plan for our lives that includes both joyful and painful experiences.

And there's just one God and there's just one Man
Acknowledges the one true God and the one way to salvation through Jesus Christ.

That can make our sins as white as snow
Through confessing and repenting of our sins to Jesus, we can find forgiveness and cleansing.

That can turn our mornings into gold
Jesus' love can transform even the darkest periods of our lives into something beautiful.

That can keep our hearts from growing cold
By accepting God's love, our hearts can remain soft and open to love.

That can make the love between us flow
Only through the love of Jesus can we truly experience unity and love among humanity.
