The Crayon Box
Words:
Tune:
VERSE 1
G D D7 G C
1. When I was just a little child No higher than your knee,
2. I colored and I colored 'Til the crayons were all gone,
3. Afraid to tell of a Savi - or Who died on Calv - ary,
G D C G
1. My mother bought a box of crayons, Just for me.
2. And though I am much older now, the mem'ry lingers on.
3. He died for lowly sinners Just like you and me;
G D D7 G C
1. I picked them up and I opened them And I looked way down inside,
2. And when I see a little child With crayon box in hand,
3. And someday soon He's coming back To be our King,
G C D (G) C G
1. And the colors there reminded me Of Jesus when He died.
2. I tell them what they mean to me And hope they'll understand.
3. And the colors of the crayon box We will sing!
CHORUS
G C G
O… Red is the color of the blood that He shed,
D D7 C G
Brown is for the crown of thorns they placedupon His head.
C G
Blue is for royalty! In Heaven He does dwell;
D D7 C G
And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.
