God’s Coloring Book.
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 was 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,
A 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 was 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 across the sky,
And the purple haze at sunset,
Just before the night.
And the more I look around me,
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.
And 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.
Yes, each new day is but a new page
In God’s coloring book.
END
A NICE ONE
