Product Description
This new hymn is especially appropriate for Affirming Ministries. The hymn draws on rainbow and rainbow-coloured imagery in the Bible, and the imagery of light which is composed of rainbow colors. The hymn suggests that Affirming Ministries have a badly needed light which they can proudly share with the world.
We Are a Rainbow
Words and music by David Kai ©2017 Tune: Slocan (see below)
Were the light of all the world, we are a city on a hill,
Were a candle on a stand proclaiming light,
We will not hide our lamp beneath a bushel any more,
We will shine a ray of hope thats burning bright.
Chorus: We are a rainbow, sign of covenant and peace,
For the flood of tears will finally cease to be,
Come shine your rainbow, splash your hues across the sky,
Paint the world in colours proud and bold and free.
Were a coat of many colours, sewn from many different threads,
Covering all in warmth, in welcome and in grace,
God said Let there be light, created every varied shade,
In the rainbow each of us can find a place. Chorus:
We are hope to still believe in tomorrows better day,
We are peace in a world thats torn apart,
We are joy that will last in all the struggles that we face,
We are love that blooms and grows in every heart. Chorus:
When we face the storms of life, we will never be alone,
For our God will be with us on the way,
Hand in hand, side by side, we wont be frightened* any more,
As the mourning night of tears breaks into day. Chorus:
*alt: clobbered
