The smile of the sky,
The clapping of trees,
The flowing of falls,
The kiss of a breeze,
The laughter of children,
The sparkle of eyes,
The depths of oceans,
The heights of skies,
The comfort of a mother,
The strength of mountains,
The purity of love
Flowing freer than fountains
For all these and more
I give thanks to You;
Yes, I praise You, Jesus,
For all that You do.
Surely Your gifts
Are too many to count;
You are the Source of good,
Love’s flowing Fount.
What can I do
To express my gratitude?
Accept the gift of me,
Embrace my servitude.
For what would I be
Were it not for Your love?
Surely all good I know
Is Your gift from above.
You are laughter of my heart,
The sparkle of my eyes,
You are every miracle,
Every sweet surprise;
You are the smile of the sky,
The clapping of trees,
So I live, my Jesus,
For Your heart to please.

Psalm 19:1
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
