Red is the color of the blood that flowed

Of the love of God for a sinful race,

of the blood that flowed down Jesus´ face

That can keep our hearts from growing cold.

Gold is the color of the morning sun,

       G        D             A

It's the sun above that that keeps us warm,

          G      D                    A
it's the son of love, that calms the storm

          G       D                      A

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves,

          G      D                   A
when the winter comes to the barren trees.

There is birth, there is death, there is a plan,

             G        D                         A
and there's just one God, and there's just one man

          G       D                      A
That can give us life, that can make us grow,

          G        D                A
That can make our sins as white as snow

          G       D                      A
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
