The Color of Mercy



Balloons of many colors
Will rise up into the air
And many try to hide their age
By coloring their hair

Just think of all the colors
We will see around God’s throne
Surrounded by a multitude
Who dress in white alone

The living creatures crying out
Your stains are washed away
Holy, holy, holy,
Are the Lord Almighty’s ways!

There will be no more pain or sorrow
When we finally reach our home
So, blessed are the merciful
Who trust in God alone!
