Lyrics

I see a star
a shining in the sky
I see the wind
making the trees sway
I feel the sun
so cheery and so bright
All these things proclaim the love of God to me each day.

Hey! I've got a roof
for keeping out the rain
I've got some clothes
to put on me each day
And I've got food
to satisfy my tum
All these things proclaim the love of God to me each day.

Chorus: Father, Jesus, Spirit, Three in One,
I love You, and praise You, Lord
And I'm enjoying all you've done!

Oh I've got the Lord. He's taking care of me
I've got His light to brighten up my way
And I've got His Word
to keep me on my toes
All these things proclaim the love of God to me each day.

I know for sure
that when my body dies
My living spirit
won't stay in a grave
I know for sure
that Jesus died for me
Now He lives within my heart; my sinful soul He saved!

We've got it good;
there's no doubt in my mind.
Jesus has filled us
right up to the brim.
How could we ever
hold it all inside?
We've just got to tell a lot of people about Him.

I know for sure
what the Bible says:
We who have much
must give a lot away
Or we may find
when crowns are given out
For stinginess Lord Jesus might just take our crowns away.

My Lord Jesus,
teach me to give away
the blessings you give to me
And to share your wealth
with needy people every day.

The instrumentation sounds great.
The quality of the lyrics is good.

The song is up-beat and joyful, with many, many Christian messages. The sparse instrumentation serves the song well and does get in the way of things.

Always good, everything you do.....

Kate...How can anyone not know who this is....you have such a great way to make church music so much fun and your voice is undeniable...your music is so great ...I really loved this song..You make everything infectious and you want to tap your toes and sing with you...everything is spot on.

Joyous song...I like it very much! Very good vocals.

May be good for a Christian children's album.
