For rainbows, and ocean waves,
and gentle summer breezes,
for shooting stars, and thunderstorms
and dandelion sneezes,
for snowflakes, and babies’ smiles,
and sunsets that astound,
for mountain peaks, and moonlit nights,
and four-leaf clovers found,
for lightning bugs, and puffy clouds,
and fields adorned with flowers
for crickets’ songs, and autumn leaves,
and peaceful, springtime showers,
we offer praise for all the ways
Creation speaks Your story,
and reveals Your power to redeem
our sorrows into glory.
