"Good night" I said to my little son
So tired out when the day is done
Then he said as I tucked him in
"Tell me Daddy what color's God's skin?"

What color is God's skin?
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow
It is red, it is white
Ev'ry man's the same in the good Lord's sight

He looked at me with his shining eyes
I knew I could tell no lies
When he said Daddy why do the diff'rent races fight
If we're the same in the good Lord's sight

What color is God's skin?
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow
It is red, it is white
Ev'ry man'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
Is to walk as the daughters and sons of God

What color is God's skin?
I said it's black, brown, it's yellow
It is red, it is white
Ev'ry man's the same in the good Lord's sight
