The Crayon Box aka The Color Song

Now, I did actually have a new video to post this week. I recorded it Wednesday night. But, you know how I keep complaining about not having time? I didn't get it uploaded to YouTube. I could have taken the time to get it ready to do so. However, I can't do on a week day in the background while working because it always jams up my internet, and I've had other computer issues lately with email going out, so didn't want to hinder myself more.

So, we'll go back a few years to this video.

The Crayon Box Song

Written by William V. Mason

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 and I opened them up

And I looked way down inside,

And the colors there reminded me

Of Jesus when He died.

O… 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 Heaven He does dwell;

And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.

I colored and I colored

'Til the crayons were all gone,

And though I am much older now,

The mem'ry lingers on.

And when I see a little child

With crayon box in hand,

I tell them what they mean to me

And hope they'll understand.

O… 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 Heaven He does dwell;

And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.

Afraid to tell of a Savior

Who died on Calvary,

He died for lowly sinners

Just like you and me;

And someday soon He's coming back

To be our King,

And the colors of the crayon box

We will sing!

O… 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 Heaven He does dwell;

And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.

So, don't you be a Christian, who's afraid to tell!
