Thought it was interesting to read the discussion on the colors of the song. I was raised in a small town in the panhandle of Texas, and I was taught to sing the song….brown, red, yellow, black and white we are precious in His sight…thought it was odd others left out brown!

Or my album, with the special hidden bonus track…

I used to think this song was about jaundiced babies, until my mum explained the whole "yellow" thing as referring to Asians…to which I responded "but they're not yellow…Big Bird is yellow", never mind the fact that by that logic I'm not white and my Aboriginal friends are not black (well most of them, some are black as night).

Not quite sure why I never asked who the red people were…I probably just thought it was referring to babies who'd just been born…

Anyway…no, our church never did sing this song, and the church I grew up in always preferred Jesus Loves Me.

Of course, there's always the PC alternate version :

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
When they scratch and when they fight
They're still precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
