There's wondrous living beauty in all things loved by God:
In the gentle wind that ripples where the yellow daisies nod,
In the peace of quiet valleys and the slopes of wooded hills,
In the sunshine and the moonlight, everything His glory fills.
God's fingers touch with beauty and weave with wondrous charm,
And His masterpiece, I know, is my Mississippi farm.

There's fragrance and a sweetness in the things beloved by God:
In the freshness and the cleanness of the smell of turning sod,
The rustling leaves of cotton mark the passing of His feet,
And His voice is in the robins' song where lacy treetops meet.
God's presence is about us like a strong encircling arm,
And His 'biding place, I'm certain, is my Mississippi farm.
