Bipolar People: Gold Is the Color

Posted by David B. and Dianne Hansen | November 10, 2009 .
Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely an every one
It’s the sun above that keeps us warm
It’s the Son of love that calms the storm
That can give us life that can make us grow,
That can turn our mornings into gold.

“Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely an every one.
It’s the sun above that keeps us warm.
It’s the Son of love that calms the storm…
That can give us life that can make us grow…
That can turn our mornings into gold.”

Those lyrics were written decades ago as part of The Coloring Song by Dave Eden. Dave once played the SKIPPER on Gilligan’s Island! He’s one of those old but eternally young Jesus freaks and lives in the Dallas area with his family.

Dave was the drummer of the 70’s pioneer Jesus rock group “E” (or “E-Band”) out of Indianapolis. ”The Coloring Song” became  a hit back  in the 1980’s through the influence of the group Petra.

We highly recommend you get in contact with Dave Eden if you live in the Dallas area or if you have an interest in his work. He’s been a pastor, billboard artist, sign painter, cartoonist & singer/songwriter, and once portrayed the Skipper in a play about Gilligan’s Island. Currently, he is bi-vocational, He’s a children’s missionary to churches and is self-employed in his own business Eden Signs & Murals.

The Eden’s non-profit JCU Ministries, Inc. offers family/children’s resources of music, Bible studies, cartoon booklets and Dave’s creative outreach to kids, teachers and kid’s rooms called KIDWISE.

Do you have bipolar kids who would benefit from Dave Eden’s cheerful and encouraging ministry? His outreach is welcome.

Listen now to The Coloring Song!

Here are the lyrics:

The Coloring Song

Red is the color of the blood that flowed

Down the face of Someone Who loved us so

He’s the perfect man, He’s the Lord’s own son,

He’s the Lamb of God, He’s the only one

That can give us life, that can make us grow,

That can make the love between us flow.

Blue is the color of a heart so cold

It will not bend when the story’s told

Of the love of God for a sinful race

Of the blood that flowed down Jesus face

That can give us life, that can make us grow

That can keep our hearts from growing cold.

Gold is the color of the morning sun

That shines so freely an every one

It’s the sun above that keeps us warm

It’s the Son of love that calms the storm

That can give us life that can make us grow,

That can turn our mornings into gold.

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves

When the winter comes to the barren trees

There is birth, there is death, there is a plan

And there’s just one God, and there’s just one man

That can give us life, that can make us grow

That can make our sins as white as snow

That can give us life, that can make us grow

That can turn our mornings into gold.

That can give us life, that can make us grow

That can keep our hearts from growing cold.

That can give us life, that can make us grow

That can make the love between us flow.
