Me and My Boys

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 a 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 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.
