Made by Your Own Touch

 

 Oh, Lord, the earth is so beautiful

When springtime comes around.

The magnificent, glorious colors

Are everywhere to be found.

 

The lilac bush and redbud trees

And dogwoods are all aglow.

The little stream that barely trickled

Is now a steady flow.

 

The birds serenade so sweetly,

They bring music to my ears.

The grass is alive and green.

I think a little of Heaven is near.

 

All of Nature comes alive in Spring,

Oh, what a gift from You.

I breathe the clear and fragrant air

And gaze at the sky of blue.

 

Thank You, God, for the springtime

That I love so very much.

I know that all of the beauty

Was made by Your own touch.
