GOD WAS RIGHT THERE FROM THE START

As the skating season is about to begin I am reminded of a song I wrote just as my daughter (8 at the time) was about to enter onto the ice at a competition, I was so excited for her that I thought of this song as I watched.  It was recorded on my LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE CD.

God Was Right There From The Start

Chorus

Birds and butterflies, flowers and trees

The sun up above and a heart filled with love

With a smile on my face and a song in my heart

God was right there from the start

Verse

Life is filled with wonder and miracles

Just look at the rainbow up in the sky

Did you ever wonder how it got there

Do you think that the birds always knew how to fly?

Chorus

Verse

Just look at the hippo wading in the water

The elephant, giraffes and zebras in the zoo

Some have stripes and some have spots

Could it be about me?

Could it be about you?

Chorus

Bridge

We are all so very different, just look how unique we are

We are all so precious in his sight,

all part of his creation is what we are

Chorus
