I`m Planting a Garden So Large And Fine
With Vegetables Of Every KindAs I Drop Each Seed Into It`s Tiny Spot
I Can Feel The Sun On My Back So Hot
As The First Little Plant Burst Through The Sod
I Pause , Look up , And I Thank God
I Tell Him I`m Proud He Makes The Seeds Grow
That I`ll Do My Part With The Hoe.
I Ask Him To Send The Nice Gentle Rain
To Nourish The Garden , The fields Of Grain
And To Let The Sun , His Mighty Light
Shine on Everything , Shine Just Right
I Tell Him His Wonders Are Many and Great
I Know He Is God , There`s No Mistake
Who But He Can Take A Seed , A Spot of Earth
And Give a Million Plants Their Birth
Or Who But He Can Make the Rain and Sun
Drop Down , Just When They Need to Come
Yes I`m Day Dreaming of Days Ahead
When Spring Comes And Makes Her Bed
I Can Feel the Earth in My Two Hands
I Feel the Sun That Quickly Tans
I Put My Seeds , Into Each It`s Place
And Watch the Miracle Only God Can Make
There Is Beauty in Work , I Know
But With Out God , It Wouldn`t Be SO.
