What Color Is God's Skin? Up With People Song - StevenOchoa3

This video was made purely for the assistance of Youtube users: FreeEnglishLessons and PracticeListening in Florida, who teach students English as a second language. I created this video to assist in a community service manner, since traveling with Up With People in 1981 & 1985 and claim no rights to the music, lyrics or logo and hope to have the cooperation of the Up With People office now based in Denver, Colorado. Good Luck Students!

LYRICS:
"Good Night" I said to my little son
So tired out when the day was done
Then he said, as I tucked him in
"Tell me, Daddy- What Color is God's Skin?"

CHORUS
What color is God's skin? What color is God's Skin"
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow... it is red, it is white
Every one's the same in the good Lord's sight.

He looked at me with those shining eyes
Well I knew that I could tell no lies
When he said, "Daddy, why do the different races fight
If we're the same in the good Lord's sight?"

CHORUS
What color is God's skin? What color is God's Skin"
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow... it is red, it is white
Every one's the same in the good Lord's sight.

"Son, that's part of our suffering past
But the whole human family is learning at last
That the thing we missed on the road we trod
Was walking as the daughters and the sons of God".

CHORUS
What color is God's skin? What color is God's Skin"
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow... it is red, it is white
Every one's the same in the good Lord's sight.

Thank so much Steven for sharing this excellent video. As a former member of Sing Out St. Petersburg (Florida that is) in the mid 1960's this brought back quite a few memories. My wife and I still have the song book and the Up with People LP.
