Bold, beautiful, bountiful and benevolent
When you color me, color me black
Learned, lifted, limitless and loving
When you color me, color me black
Accomplished, anointed, appointed and authorized
When you color me, color me black
Commanding, cultivated compassionate, a champion
When you color me, color me black
A kind kindred spirit knowledgeable, known and knowing who He created me to be
So go ahead color me!
To color me is to see the marvelous, intricate, passionate and purposed way He formed me.
To be in His image, to reflect Him living in me
So color me in shades of the dust of thee earth from which he formed me.
When you color me, color me black, beautiful!
