Old camp song

[def7319]

I am looking for a song we sang at a hristian camp in the 70's. I remember these words:
Red is the color of the blood that he shed
Brown is the crown that they placed upon his head

I would love to get all of the words. Thanks!

The Crayon Box Song

Lyrics are like this:


THE CRAYON BOX SONG
By William V. Mason

When I was just a little boy (child), no higher than you knee,
My mother bought a box of crayons just for me;
I picked 'em up, I opened 'em up, and I looked way down inside,
And the colors there reminded me of Jesus when He died.

Chorus:
Red is the color of the blood that He shed,
Brown's for the crown that they laid upon His head;
Blue is for royalty, within Him did dwell,
And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.

I colored and I colored 'til the crayons were all gone,
But though I've grown much older now, the mem'ry lingers on;
So when I see a little child with crayon box in hand,
I tell them what they mean to me so I hope he'll understand..

Repeat Chorus

Afraid to tell of a Saviour who died on Calvary,
He died for lowly sinners just like you and me;
And someday He is coming back to be our King,
and the colors in the crayon box you will sing.

Repeat Chorus

And yellow is for the Christian who's afraid to tell.
