Father Made the Flowers
(dedicated to Stephen Foster)
Father made the flowers
They glow so prettily
Father made the flowers
Growing all thru the days
Father made the Flowers
To cheer us on our ways
Father made the flowers
Spring and summer too
Father made the flowers
Perfect as they could be
Father made the flowers
And He made you and me
Did you ask the flowers
Who keeps us from all strife?
Jesus is our Lord
Who gives us joy and life
Praise we now our father
More perfect than his flowers
Who can tell he loves us
And made us tenderly
Gave his rules to guide us
Just so that we could sing?
Father made the flowers
And He made everything
(repeat 1st verse)
This song was sung to me by the robins
in the trees near where we were picking tulips
at 6AM every morning in WA for 2 bucks an hour.
What a lot of color I saw as I fell asleep at night after picking
tulips of all colors for 8 hours a day.
