Anyone knows how to make color to a whole lyric sentence, I know there
is an option for different kind of grey. Can I override a whole verse
with one specific color? :)

I have this:

\addlyrics {\set stanza = "1." Be -- hold os, Fa -- der, ved dit Ord,
trods Pa -- vens Løgn og Tyr -- kens Mord, der styr -- te vil fra tro --
nen ned, din Søn, vor Gud til E -- vigt Liv!}
\addlyrics {\set stanza = "2." Be -- vis din magt, åh Je -- su Krist,
som al -- le Her- rers Her -- re er, be -- var din Bør -- ne -- fød --
te flok, så de dig pri -- se må i fred! }
\addlyrics {\set stanza = "3." Vor trøster -- ter -- mand, Gud Hel --
lig -- ånd, for -- en Guds Folk i skrif -- tens bånd, vær med os i vor
sid -- ste nød, lad ord -- et vidn -- ne til vor død!}
\addlyrics {\set stanza = "4." Så lad din sand -- hed og dit Lys, gå ud
til al -- le mand på jord, lad Djæv -- len tu- de tør af kiks, han mi --
ste alt til Li -- vets mand!}

I want 2 of them in another color to make it easier to read, I will do
some kind of grey for a start, just slightly enough so it will help the
reader :) There was a good amount of setting for the Grey. I have tried
some kind of \markup { \with-color #red contain } but it only seemed to
work for one word.

Dearly regards
Darkijah - working on the sheet :)

This is the command you need.
\override LyricText.color = #red

Here's the list of color names:
