  			G D7                          C                    G 
Today as I was walking in the fields just down the way 

  D7                          C             G 
I sat down on a fallen log to pass the time away 

                              C 
And as I looked around me the more that I did look 

           G                           D7             G 
The more I realized that I was viewing God's coloring book 


                                 C              G 
I saw a golden ray of sunlight a silver drop of dew 

                                    D7 
A soft white floating cloud sailing across the sky of blue 

G                  C 
A yellow dandelion pretty evergreen 

         G                      D7                     G 
And some red and orange flowers growing wild along the stream 


                                  C 
And the more I look around me the more that I do look 

           G                          D7             G 
The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book 


    D7                                     C              G 
The grain of sand in an old man's hair the pink in baby's cheeks 

    D7                            C               G 
The blackness in a stormy sky the brown in fallen leaves 

                             C 
And the multicolored rainbow stretched across the sky 

        G                     D7              G 
And the purple haze at sunset just before the night 


                                  C 
And the more I look around me the more that I do look 

           G                          D7             G 
The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book 

  
       D7                              C            G 
Then I turn my face toward the sky and say a silent prayer 

       D7                      C              G 
Though God doesn't speak to me I see Him everywhere 

                    C 
He is all around me He's everywhere I look 

             G                        D7             G 
And each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book 


                                      D7             C  G 
Yes each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book
