Praise be to God,
His beauty we behold;
A painter cannot paint,
That which He unfolds.
 
Leaves are a million greens,
Flowers come in every hue;
There's fire in the sunrise,
And beauty in the dew.
    
Shades of blue one cannot count,
Pinks and reds galore;
There's yellow in the sunshine,
And jonquils on God's floor.
 
Golden lilies dance in the yard,
As the pink petunia waves;
Praise the Lord for such beauty,
As our souls He saves.
   
Sensational beauty surrounds us,
If through love we only see;
The colors found in nature,
The beauty in you and me.
