Sometimes we're not aware of things, The wind chimes in a tree that sings, The first snowfall that casts a spell, We plod along our tired way, Not seeing beauty in each day, Not recognizing God at all, In everything, both great and small. Then suddenly He wakes us from A long sleep of ignoring Him, He nudges us with trials of pain, So that we see His love again. Renewed once more we are aware Of his great power everywhere - Then all the world is new and bright - We see God in a different light.
