What Color Is Spirit?

S unday mornings are busy at my friend Jane's church. At 10 AM, the Caucasian congregation worships, at 11 AM, the Afro-Americans worship, and at 3 PM the Portuguese speaking Brazilian Community Church meets. In an
effort to unify the congregations, Jane asked me if I could write a song called, "What Color Is Spirit?"

I wrote back that "while I think it's a lovely idea, I doubt I can write something so important, so profound, so grand a concept."

Just then, my fingers typed the following lines:

    What color is spirit?
    The same color as air.
    It's the color of loving
    When all God's children share.

"Um, I guess if I can't write it, Spirit can!"

And so we did.

    WHAT COLOR IS SPIRIT?
    Music and lyrics by Sandi Kimmel

    What color is spirit?
    The same color as air.
    It's the color of loving
    When all God's children share.

    What color is spirit?
    It's the color of day -
    It's the light of the morning
    It's the love when you pray.

    All it takes is faith and patience
    And a heart that is willing to feel love.

    What color is spirit?
    It's the color of light -
    Shining deeply within you
    Through the dark of the night.

    What color is spirit?
    Water's that color, too.
    It's the color of me and
    It's the color of you.

    All it takes is faith and patience
    And a heart that is willing to feel love.

    What color is spirit?
    The same color as air.
    It's the color of loving
    When all God's children share.
    Yes, when all God's children share...
