The world is God's awesome garden,
Spread from sea to shining sea,
Green valleys and purple mountains,
And these splendid gifts are free.
From the North pole to the South,
From the East to farthest West,
Who can take it all in?
We have been truly blessed!
From wild buttercups to the roses,
From mighty eagles to butterflies,
God gives life to them all,
And how they all multiply!
The farmers till the fertile soil,
They plant the wheat and corn,
They harvest food for the nations,
To feed the hungry and forlorn.
How about all those great trees,
That bear all kinds of nuts and fruit,
And the vineyards, heavy-hung,
There's no real substitutes!
God is our loving Holy Father,
He gave His only Son,
He loves us all so very much,
He will leave nothing undone.
Raise your hands toward heaven,
Thank Him for all He has made,
Tell Him how much you love Him,
He deserves a triumphant serenade!
