Dolly Parton Lyrics
"God's Coloring Book"

(Dolly Parton)

Today as I was walking in the fields just down the way
I sat down on a fallen log to pass the time away
And as I looked around me the more that I did look
the more I realize that I am viewing God's coloring book.

I saw a golden ray of sunlight, a silver drop of dew
A soft, white floating cloud sailing cross the sky of blue
A yellow dandelion, pretty evergreen
And some red and orange flowers growing wild along the stream.

And the more I look around me
And the more that I do look
The more I realize that I am viewing
God's coloring book.

The greyness in an old man's hair, the pink in baby's cheeks
The blackness in a stormy sky, the brown in fallen leaves
And the multicolored rainbow stretched out across the sky
And the purple haze at sunset just before the night.

And the more I look around me
And the more that I do look
The more I realize that I am viewing
God's coloring book.

Then I turn my face toward the sky and say a silent prayer
Though God doesn't speak to me I see him everywhere
He is all around me, He's everywhere I look
And each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book

Each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book, Hmm...
