Thank you, Jesus, for the mud
I use to make my pies,
an' angleworms, an' pollywogs,
an' pretty dragonflies.
I like the pussywillows, too;
they are so soft to touch -
an' the flowers in our dooryard
are so pretty. Thank you much.

Thank you for the little things,
like kittycats that purr,
an' big things too, like gran'ma.
I really do love her.
I guess my bruther is okay -
except he pulls my hair -
an' all I did was take the eyes
out of his teddy bear!
Mama's nice, but she sure does
get mad at me sometimes.
An' Daddy - he's not home much,
but he's still a friend of mine.

But most I'm thankful, Jesus,
that you love me so.
My teacher told me this at church
a week or two ago.
An' so I'm trying really hard
to be 'specially good.
I know you're gonna help me;
my teacher said you would.
But take a lot of time with me
an' try not to be sad.
I have an awful temper,
and sometimes I get mad!

"Everything Is Beautiful"

by:  Ray Stevens


Jesus loves the little children,
all the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white,
they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or
a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven,
the world's gonna find a way

There is none so blind as
he who will not see
Ww must not close our minds,
we must let our thought be free
For every hour that passes by,
you know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that beauty lies
in the eyes of the beholder

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night or
a snow covered winter's day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven,
the world's gonna find a way

We shouldn't care about the length
of his hair or the color of his skin
Don't worry about what shows from
without but the love that lives within
We're gonna get it all together now and
everything gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to look on
the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind

Everything is beautiful in its' own way
Like a starry summer night o
r a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Under God's heaven,
the world's gonna find a way
