This is an oldie that had a ton of views. Years ago, the kids sang this a lot at church, but these days not so much. We usually just sang the first two verses, but online when I was putting a songbook for kids together, found the third verse. 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 blo...

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.

With my last couple of groups of kids, I was determined every week for a year we would have a different song. That's not working out real well this time around. I'm determined to post every Sunday though. It's been so long since we've really sung, I even messed up on this one. They absolutely were not having learning the last verse they haven't sung before. Nope. We don't sing that. Nuh, uh. 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.
