  • Today as I was walking
    In the fields just down the way
    I sat down on a fallen log
    To pass the time away
    And as I looked around me
    The more that I did look
    The more I realize that I am viewing
    God's coloring book

    I saw a golden ray of sunlight
    A silver drop of dew
    A soft, white floating cloud
    Sailing cross the sky 'a blue

    A yellow dandelion
    Pretty evergreen
    And some red and orange flowers
    Growing wild along the stream

    And the more I look around me
    And the more that I do look
    The more I realize that I am viewing
    God's coloring book

    The greyness in an old man's hair
    The pink in baby's cheeks
    The blackness in a stormy sky
    The brown in fallen leaves

    And the multicolored rainbow
    Stretched out across the sky
    And the purple haze at sunset
    Just before the night

    And the more I look around me
    And the more that I do look
    The more I realize that I am viewing
    God's coloring book

    Then I turn my face toward the sky
    And say a silent prayer
    Though God doesn't speak to me
    I see him everywhere

    He is all around me
    He's everywhere I look
    And each new day is but a new page
    In god's coloring book

    Tag:

    Each new day is but a new page
    In god's coloring book

    Hmmmmmm
