In Sacrament meeting on Sunday six year old Emma T. sang this song, it's very simple but such a nice way to express a love of the beautiful things we have on this Earth and above. I am so thankful for the many beautiful things this life has to offer.
On a side note I have an "Edward" crush (I didn't catch the Twilight fever and feel a little left out, so here's mine) on the composer of this song...never laid eyes on him :).
1. Blue skies, mountains, rainbows, fountains:
These are some things I love to see.
Rivers, canyons, pine trees, oceans:
Heavenly Father made them for me.
[Chorus]Life is o’erflowing with beautiful things
Made by our loving and glorious King.
If I but strive to be grateful and true,
I can be happy in all that I do.
2. Music, laughter, peace thereafter:
These are some things I love to hear.
Please’s, thank you’s, may I’s, can do’s:
Hearing them fills my heart with good cheer.
Chorus
3. Silky flowers, cool rain showers:
These are some things I love to feel.
Promptings, guidance, warm assurance:
That’s how I know the Spirit is real.
[Chorus]Life is o’erflowing with beautiful things
Made by our loving and glorious King.
If I but strive to be grateful and true,
I can be happy in all that I do.
here's a link to listen (doesn't compare to Emma's version)
