Today I had a person asking for the lyrics to a song -
"with something about a box of crayons and describes the colors of the crayons with what Jesus did for us (black sin, white as snow, red blood) and stuff like that."
After reading the song's description I knew EXACTLY what song she was looking for - The Crayon Box Song!!!! I hadn't sung that song in YEARS. My mom would sing that song when my siblings and I were young - we loved singing that song! Of course that was quite a few years back in time and there comes a point where childhood songs fade into the back corners of the mind....until someone starts to hums the tune or begins singing the words to an old song - a song you hadn't thought of in years - like what happened today.
Well, I want to share this old treasure with you -
You may listen to the music here.
The Crayon Box Song
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!
