The Rainbow

Miss Cindy Cayton: 


Color my world with your own,
somewhere over these city streets
Take me to a running brook, a stream, a creek

For Christ knows how I prayed so much to be meek

I do not 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 too stand on and smell the Spring rain
and watch everything turn green;
somewhere to find rest I need

Thoough the valley is beyond and below
Merciful God With Us, 
color my woorld with what you think is best


Let my God-given name not find fame

I pray for a man you chose to share my all

Let me look at the sky and know I am alright

Color if you wish, with people who really truly care;
in my heart so near


The suns 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

~a blessed nib for the glory of our Heavenly Father
