I took a walk down a woodland trail,
Without really expecting anything new.
A rustling among the leaves made me pause,
And wonder what was hidden from view.

I knelt down and spotted a little flower,
So perfectly formed to bloom just for an hour…
Thank you Lord, for showing it to me alone,
Such a secret I would have never known.

God sends jewels from Heaven,
When I stop long enough to see,
Rare and precious treasures,
To show how much He loves me.

Once I ran to the edge of some trees,
With a heavy burden in my heart…
And the scent of a warm summer rain,
Was wafted by a gentle breeze.

A brilliant red cardinal
Came to call,
And san a cheerful song just for me;
And to think I would have missed it all!

God sends jewels from Heaven,
When I stop long enough to see,
Rare and precious treasures,
To show how much He loves me.

I stepped outside…
Late one night,
For a moment of peace and quiet,
And the wind whispered to me.

The black velvet sky held the crescent moon,
And a million silver stars gave their light…
I threw up my hands praising the Lord,
For this glimpse of beauty I might have ignored.

God sends jewels from Heaven,
When I stop long enough to see,
Rare and precious treasures,
To show how much He loves me.
