Crayon Drawing
With a tip of the lyrical hat to Wayne Watson for his song “Watercolor Ponies”…
Lyrics:
God, you are my Father – I just want to imitate you
Your creation is perfection as is everything you do
I follow in your footsteps – try to be like you more
I’m just a child’s crayon drawing on your refrigerator door
You paint Arizona sunsets that take my breath away
You shaped the ancient galaxies, breathed life into the clay.
Your hand commands the oceans – tells the waters where to end
Yet you care so much for me – how is it you can call me friend?
God, you are my Father – I just want to be like you
Your creation is perfection as is everything you do
I follow in your footsteps – try to be like you more
I’m just a child’s crayon drawing on your refrigerator door
Your hand carved the Huachucas
that stand their silent guard
You stretched the endless canopy above my small back yard
When I stop to consider all you’ve done and who you are
I can only lift my hands and sing your praises from afar
Just a child at Your feet,
My song – incomplete…
Still I think I sense your smile…
God, you are my Father – I just want to be like you
Your creation is perfection as is everything you do
I follow in your footsteps – try to be like you more
I’m just a child’s crayon drawing on your refrigerator door…
