God's Coloring Book

(Dolly Parton)



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 of 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



Each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book, Hmm...
