G D7 C G Today as I was walking in the fields just down the way D7 C G I sat down on a fallen log to pass the time away C And as I looked around me the more that I did look G D7 G The more I realized that I was viewing God's coloring book C G I saw a golden ray of sunlight a silver drop of dew D7 A soft white floating cloud sailing across the sky of blue G C A yellow dandelion pretty evergreen G D7 G And some red and orange flowers growing wild along the stream C And the more I look around me the more that I do look G D7 G The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book D7 C G The grain of sand in an old man's hair the pink in baby's cheeks D7 C G The blackness in a stormy sky the brown in fallen leaves C And the multicolored rainbow stretched across the sky G D7 G And the purple haze at sunset just before the night C And the more I look around me the more that I do look G D7 G The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book D7 C G Then I turn my face toward the sky and say a silent prayer D7 C G Though God doesn't speak to me I see Him everywhere C He is all around me He's everywhere I look G D7 G And each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book D7 C G Yes each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book
