The color of cardinals is as red as can be
They chirp as they fly and enjoy a great seed
The color of bluebirds as their name would imply
Is blue as blue gets even bluer than the sky
The color of zebras is quite a contrast of hues
They’re black and they’re white yet they don’t seem confused
The color of tigers is orange and black stripes
Keep watching him though or he’ll eat you in two bites
The color of polar bears is all white all over
He likes the white snow to hide in its cover
The color of penguins is a tux black and white
They waddle on sort legs and underwater they do fly
The color of Jesus is more varied than a rainbow
He came to us from God and is purer than snow
The color of love is a red extremely dark
From the blood that flowed from Jesus’ broken heart
The color of grace He displayed as He died
When He told the thief “You’ll be with me in Paradise”
The color of forgiveness He showed when He said
“Father, forgive them for they don’t know what they did”
The color of sin filled the air oh so quick
When the light disappeared and it was totally black
The color of doubt filled His followers that day
They didn’t understand and didn’t know what to say
The color of hope chased the shadows from the room
When Mary told them Jesus was no longer in the tomb
The color of peace came to the room like a wish
When Jesus showed up and asked for broiled fish
The color of faith filled Thomas like never before
When he touched Jesus wounds and declared Him “my Lord”
The color of purpose filled His disciples when Jesus left
“Become fishers of men and don’t go back to your nets”
The color of power changed those men so much higher
When the Holy Spirit came to them like small tongues of fire
The color of progress declared itself on that day
When each person knew exactly what those men had to say
The color of God’s kingdom is ours to press among
All people on earth so their heart sings His song
The color of love, peace and joy will fill God’s children
As we spend our eternity with Father God in Heaven
The color of choice is given freely from our Heavenly Creator
For those who choose Jesus I’ll say “I’ll see you later”
