Do you ever stop to smell the rose?

To feel the grass between your toes?

Ever hear a good joke and laugh awhile?

Because that laughter made you smile?

And what about when you have a good day?

Do you ever pause and pray,

maybe just to say,

“Thank you Father for the blessings you provide.

You’re always standing right by my side.

You lift me up when I am down.

You give me joy when I might frown.

You made the heavens and You made the earth.

You knew me even before my birth.

You made me eyes so I can see,

and ears to hear the buzzing bee.

You made me a voice so I can speak,

and give me strength when I am weak.

You give me gifts that I can use,

to not use them, there’s no excuse.

You give me Your grace from up above,

and I’m thankful for Your endless love.
