This is one of those Bible Summer Camp songs that everybody hated to
sing because they were so damn repetitive. Anyone ever hear that one
about Noah and the ark? Ohhhhh, did I hate that song. It was SO
obnoxious. What are these songs supposed to teach anyway? Jesus loves
all the little children. Red, yellow, black, and white... OK. Well...
plenty of Christian churches teach that most of those children are going to Hell since
they're heathens, so...maybe Jesus DOESN'T love those little children
since they don't worship HIM. I mean, how can Jesus love them unless they're born again? Or maybe Jesus just loves them until they are no longer children. When they become adult heathens, then it's time for the smiting.
This is one of those well-meaning religious things that just goes
horribly, horribly wrong. It is a true example of God Obscures
Perception. How could anyone ever think that this was OK? Granted, it
looks pretty old...but seriously?
A friend of mine did this song for an elementary school pageant when he
was very young. They put him in black face and an afro wig and tattered
jeans. Apparently, everyone thought the performance was just precious.
This was in Alabama. Surprise, surprise. Supposedly, the performance was
captured on VHS. I can't wait for him to go home and retrieve it.
