THE WONDERS OF IT ALL

BY JOAN (WATLER) WILSON

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The sun is rising
And it’s not surprising
That I watch and wonder at it all.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The air is so clear
And I have time to spare
To sit, and wonder at it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The sky is so blue
And the clouds are few
And I can only wonder at it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The birds are singing
Whilst I sit here thinking
Amazed, at the beauty of it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The flowers are all bloomimg
The bees are all humming
I’m in awe, at the wonder of it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
To give praise and thanks giving
For God’s love and understanding
For the wonders of it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
I can hear Church bells ringing
It must be Sunday morning
I can sing, pray and wonder at it all

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
The sun is rising
And it’s not really surprising
I sit, and can only wonder at it all

God gave us the earth by His power
He formed the world by His wisdom
And The Heavens by his understanding
In awe, I only wonder at it all

He makes clouds that seem to rise
Then fall back to earth with rain,
Lightning and then thunder
Am I alone, in wondering at it all?

But, it is A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
Now, there is peace all around
There is hardly a sound
I can’t help but,….. WONDER AT IT ALL
