What color is God,
Asked the child with skin so fair
Is he white like me,
Does he have light hair?
Is God dark like me,
Asked the child with skin of golden hue
Has He hair that's dark and curly,
Are His eyes black or blue?
I think God is red like me,
The Indian boy is heard to say
He wears a crown of feathers
And turns our nights to day
Each one of us knows that God is there
In all the colors above
But be sure of this, the one color He is,
Is the beautiful color of love
So when your soul goes to Heaven,
When your life comes to its end
He will be waiting, and His hand to you
Will He extend
There will be no colors in Heaven
Everyone will be the same
You will only be judged by your earthly deeds,
Not your color or your name
So when your time comes,
And you see God in His Heaven above,
Then you will see the only color that counts
The beautiful color of love.
-Arnold (Sparkly) Watts
