Color My World

Color my world with your own,
somewhere over these city streets
Let me find a brook, a stream, a creek
For Christ knows how I prayed to be meek
I don't need money to be happy,
maybe a new dress to make every now and then

God, Color my world with your own,
Let me find a hill to stand on and smell the Spring rain
and watch everything turn green;
a place to get the rest that I need
Though today the valley seems so near
Merciful God With Us,
Color my world with what you think is best

Let my God Given name, not find fame that would shame
~ in my prayers I pray for a man to share my all
Let me look to the sky and know that I'm alright
The sun's brightness comes now,
and the rain with a bit of chill

Color my world Oh God, if this is all I am to see
I am thankful for the breath you still give to me
