(Use the Wordless Book and show or present the colors in the order and at the time indicated in capital letters as you sing.)
(BLACK) My heart was dark with sin
until the Savior came in.
(RED) His precious blood I know
(WHITE) Has washed it white as snow.
(GOLD) And in His Word I'm told
I'll walk the streets of gold.
(GREEN) To grow in Christ each day
I read the Bible and pray.
