Simple Things
Today I listened
To the song of a bird
I listened intently
As the whole earth stirred.
I bent my ear
To the whistle of the wind
I found God today
Everywhere I have been.
I saw Him today
In a weather worn face
I met Him today
In every place.
Upon a flower
God had placed a bloom
It made me smile
For yet, more beauty did loom.
Right before my eyes
I saw the work of His hand
The beauty spread out
All across His land.
The whole earth
With His beauty did stir
In His glory and majesty;
Yet, in simple things...as it were.
