What is the Jelly Bean Prayer?
The Jelly Bean Prayer is a short poem by Charlene Dickerson that connects different jelly bean colors to the message of Easter. Each color represents a part of the story of Jesus—His sacrifice, His grace, and the hope of new life.
Here’s the poem with a delightful combination of sweetness and a great way to teach on Easter Sunday:
RED is for the blood He gave,
GREEN is for the grass He made,
YELLOW is for His sun so bright,
ORANGE is for the edge of night,
BLACK is for the sins we made,
WHITE is for grace He gave,
PURPLE is for His hours of sorrows,
PINK is for our new tomorrow.
May every day be Easter in your heart.
May the joy you feel on Easter morning be the joy of each day of your life.
This printable includes four copies of the poem on one sheet. It’s perfect for handing out to kids (or adults), Sunday school classes, or Easter baskets.
