The Colors of Mercy

The Colors Of Mercy

What is the color of mercy? The color of mercy is 
the color of the bricks, where JESUS walked on the 
path of sorrows. What is the color of mercy? It is the 
brown thorns of the crown that JESUS wore on his head.

What is the color of mercy? It is red - the blood that JESUS 
bled for our sins. What is the color of mercy? It is the color 
of the cross that JESUS carried to His crucifixion.

What is the color of mercy? It is the whitest white that you
have seen, when JESUS cleans you of your sin. Those are the
colors of mercy. They are the most beautiful colors - that JESUS
showed us, on the day He died for our sins...
