THESE THREE COLOR'S
1jessyjamespoems3 (james porter) 1960 (Mo)
Today is the day,
now is the time,
whomsoever that reads this painted rhyme .
With this first brush He chose, it paints red,
He colored the whole page, so I'd remember what He said.
Now the page is colored one solid color you see,
Red being the color of His blood shed for you and me.
Now He chose the brush that only color's blue,
over the red He painted a sky for me and you.
Then He chose the brush that paints only white,
as He begin to paint cloud's, I seen the darkness of night.
He then spoke to me and this is what He said,
My blood laid the foundation before this world was dead.
The blue is how I felt, before I created you,
white, is the color of everything brand new.
With these 3 colors, God chose them to truly be,
The colors of victory for both you and me.
His blood cover's all the darkest of paint,
a darkened heart, a weakend mind, will faint.
But the blood washes out the dark as it turns white,
as He turns our darkness into His light.
The blue, well I hope you can truly see,
the color of God, before he created you and me.
His thought's, feeling's and emotion's on that great day,
as He hung there on the cross that way.
Oh what color's paint us, if we could but truly see,
red, blue and white, the color's He painted for you and me.
