Crayon Rainbows, by DianaDee Osborne

CRAYON RAINBOWS
 
© 2021, 2010 by DianaDee Osborne Songs.com

Album:   Amazing Lord 'n' Life
Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:  Because God's rainbows are usually arched... not counting those cute "sun dog" rainbow pieces that sometimes appear between clouds.... I considered what music would reflect an arch.  Flowing arpeggios running for several octaves down a KEYBOARD seem to fit my concept.
         I chose to keep my BASS mistakes (which were rather odd... I'm usually better), because they seemed to add to the sadness just below the surface of life.... like the gray clouds that exist even amid the beautiful rainbows God sends to bring us hope.  I chose a breathy FLUTE  to reflect the "breath-less amazement" we have -- or should have -- that the Creator of Rainbows really.... really... loves us and sent Jesus to bring us HOPE that is fulfilled when we just look UP to Him.... John 3: 4 and 15   (which comes before "the famous" verse 16).  And of course, the Cathedral ORGAN reflects the MAJESTY of our LORD God!
Song Story:  THE LYRICS:
This parable song was inspired by remembering  the story of someone who had died and been resuscitated.  He spoke of how bright the colors were during his"death" experience.
    --- inspired by hearing the 'music' within a church body's speaking in tongues,
    --- inspired by the closer-than-I'd-prefer inspection of first a bee's fine veined wings and then a dragonfly's iridescent wings, …..
   ---  inspired by by the comforting feel of thick warmth from a new blanket.
     Each day we have an opportunity to see more closely the glories of God's world.... if we open our hearts as well as our eyes and ears  to God's Own Glory now, with a joy-filled awaiting of Heaven's rainbows to come after our Life's storms are past
Dedicated to God of Glory & Colors, 28 October 2010

Song Lyrics: 
1
Gorgeous, vivid rainbows burst through the clouds,
reminders that God's Power with Love is His vow to
you, to you, what ever your storm, God will bring you through. 
Philippians 4 is God's Word for you. 

2
Photographs of rainbows are always more dim than
God's great creation, as if drawn in crayonJust a
glimpse of God's Glory.
God--- give us Your Words to tell
others the Glory we've seen in Your Rainbow Words of Love.

3
This life is a rainbow drawn in crayon.  One
day you'll live in heaven if you answered Romans 10:9.  Heaven's
Life, with God, above all this world's storms.  Go tell
others the Glory we've seen in God's Rainbow Words of Love.

4
Our words can be rainbows to help people through storms, as we
tell them that God loves them and will help through their storms.
There is Life, with God, above all of YOUR storms.  If you
ask God in prayer, He'll show YOU..
God's Rainbow Words of HOPE.

REFERENCES:
Philippians 4: 7-8,   plus rest of chapter.   "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,   let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10: 10
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
Romans 10: 11 (New Living Translation all)
As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced."
