My mom gave B "Hi God" for Christmas.
I was listening to it again tonight and I wanted to share this song. The youtube version is not the original Carey Landry version, but gives an idea. Below are the lyrics. It touched me even more now that I have a son who may ask questions like this someday.
What Color is God's skin?
"Good Night" I said to my little son
So tired out when the day was done
Then he said, as I tucked him in
"Tell me, Daddy- What Color is God's skin?"
CHORUS
What color is God's skin? What color is God's skin?
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow... it is red, it is white
Every man's the same in the good Lord's sight.
He looked at me with his shining eyes
And then I knew I could tell no lies
He asked "Daddy, why do the different races fight
If we're the same in the good Lord's sight?"
CHORUS
"Son, that's part of our suffering past
But the whole human race is learning at last
The thing we missed on the road we trod
Is walking as the daughters and the sons of God".
CHORUS
These words to America a man once hurled
God's last chance to make a world
The different races are meant to be
Our strength and glory from sea to sea.
