Lyrics
Color My Prayers Color my prayers like the sky Color my prayers in the shades of the sea Color my prayers like the fruits of the field Color my prayers like the birds in the trees Refrain When I can’t find the right words Patterns and colors and shapes, they will do! Color my prayers Color my prayers Color my prayers like the flowers Color my prayers in bright autumn hues Color my prayers like a summer rainbow Color my prayers like me and like you Refrain Bridge And send out my prayers on the winds Send out my prayers on the currents and waves Send out my prayers in the sunshine and rain Send out my prayers in a fiery blaze Color my prayers like the stars Color my prayers in patterns and swirls Color my prayers like the rocks and soil Color my prayers like the finest of jewels Refrain Unpublished Work © 2012 John R. Whitney In support of the 9/16/2012 intergenerational activity “Praying in Color” led by Sharon Bartell Inspired by the work of Sybil and Andy MacBeth http://prayingincolor.com/
