Many Colours Paint The Rainbow

Many Colours Paint The Rainbow
Composed by: Roy Hopp

Many colours paint the rainbow, arching over land and sea
May colours form the fabric of our human tapestry
God, with joy and hope you made us, by a pattern you had planned
Weaving varied threads together, with a skilled and loving hand..

Many peoples bring their treasures, as those kings who travelled far
Drawn from all earth scattered places, back to Christ the morning star
All may offer gifts to others, and from them receive in turn
In the gathering of nation, help us god to teach and learn...

Many faces round the table wait for Christ, the Risen Lord
For he comes with love to meet us, in the Loaf, the Cup, the Word
All are welcomed, none rejected, bound by Christ in unity
Naming others sisters, brothers, in a world wide family..

Many voices sing God's praises in their language all their own
Toungues confused at Babel's Tower now are joined around God's throne
Free our hearts of hate and discord, till our lives in concert blend
Alleluia! Be our anthem without end...

this is a nice song which i will be singing in a competition on 30/12
i like this song very much....
yesterday when we are practising, our leader explain the whole song to us
i really can feel it when we sang this song...
the music and the vocal arrangement...is really really beautiful~
There is a beautiful story behind this song too..

Although its a Christian song, and it may sound very religious
but, some of the words in the song brings out a very meaningful message..
Unity and peace...
everybody stand by each other's side...
Love...
Love each other, free our hearts.....
