Children's Hymnal ‎#62

62. God Is Near

1 Sometimes when morning lights the sky
And gladness fills the air,
I feel like telling things to God,
He seems so very near.

2 Sometimes when flowers are in bloom
And birds are singing clear,
I feel like singing things to God,
He must be very near.

3 Sometimes when trees are standing tall
With branches in the air,
I feel like saying things to God,
I know he must be near.

4 Sometimes when work and play are don
And evening stars appear,
I feel like whispering things to God,
He is so very near.
