Giving thanks

Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,

Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,

Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by our lilac tree,

I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heav’nly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.

He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.

He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him rev’rently

For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me.

This is one of my favorite songs! It always helps to see it written out like this.

BTW, "fogical" is when someone is making a point but not very well. "That's a fogical argument." :-)

Try "hymasap" on for size.
