and see the beauty of my life
intermixed with joyful days
are moments of tears and strife
I know that each of these things
are a precious gift from Him
for God has blessed me with His love
even when I've sinned.
to thank Him for gifts He's given
to smell the fragrance of this garden
that I've been allowed to live in
each precious moment, each precious life
is here to teach my soul
that every living thing on this earth
is a treasure to behold.
