Show Me Something Beautiful
Mary collapsed with a broken heart
When all around her was falling apart
She lifted a prayer, a simple cry:
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
To her delight, an answer flew swift
On the wings of a bird, came a stunning gift!
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
In glorious red, illustrious feathers
A cardinal landed and loosed her fetters.
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
She wept for joy at the fruit of her prayer
Reminded again, that God's always there.
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
Now whenever I see a cardinal land
I think of Mary and God’s loving hand.
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
I am thankful for Mary and my mother
Who said: “share this story with one another”
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
When trying times come, pour out your plea;
Perhaps your cardinal’s waiting on thee.
He answered the prayer of her simple cry
“Lord, show me something beautiful.”
