Colours of Salvation
by Jim Bailey

Album: Extreme Worship

Gold was was the colour of that first day
Radiant yellow of sunrise
They ran in the beauty of all God had made
They hue of His love in their eyes
Black was the fear that darkened the door
Eclipsing the truth of all gone before
Obsidian lies blinding all of mankind
Colouring our judgement
to be colour blind

Red was the cross
Crimson the blood flowing from Jesus
He broke the curse of the Cardinal sin
He rose from the dead to free us
White was the light pure & pristine
Illuminating us making us clean
Sin red as scarlet now washed white as snow
God showed his true colours
and salvation showed

The colours of salvation
Redeeming the past
flowed into one
through God's holy son
when the colours were nailed to the mast

Green is the growth of new birth
A springtime of loves celebration
An emerald light that commands us to go
and troop the colours of salvation
Blue is for Heaven our final home
Where with flying colours around the royal throne
We'll unfurl forever our final hope
And worship in colours not even known
