Description

Teach your children's choirs about the seasons and colors of the church year: the song encompasses purple, white, and green.

Lyrics

Sing a song of the seasons and the colors of the Church throughout the year;
For the colors remind us of the life of Christ in a way that's very clear.

Purple is the color of preparation, in Advent and Lent we prepare and wait;
White is the color of celebration, at Christmas and Easter we celebrate.
Green is the color of the season of Epiphany, focusing on Christ's ministry on earth;
Green is the color of the season of Trinity, focusing on the mission of the Church.
