Walking.... Walking down the street I saw a stranger We gazed into each other's eyes Into each other's souls No longer a stranger I recognize the face of God I looked up And saw a canopy of leaves Providing shade from the heat To those below Here the birds rested And filled the air with song I heard the voice of God Walking down the street I looked down and noticed Roses, flowers, grass, and weeds As well as tree roots and rocks I noticed the nature of God With the wind in my face And the coolness of the air on my skin I felt the Spirit of God
