My Heavenly Father Loves Me
By: Clara W. McMaster, 1904–1997
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.
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good..."Genesis 1:31
Have a beautiful Sunday~
A beautiful reminder. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me cry! This was sung at my Aunts funeral and every time I hear it I get teary eyed! Thank you for the gentle reminder to take a second and be grateful for all the little things in life that the Lord has blessed us with!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. I love to hear the young children at church sing this song:)
