Lyrics

All nature tells us of His wondrous care;
For us He’s fashioned all its beauties rare;
His presence is reflected everywhere;
Do you reflect Him, too?

Refrain

Reflect the Savior in your life today;
As you go out upon the crowded way,
Let Him be seen in all you do and say—
Reflect the Christ today.

We hear His whisper in the birds that sing,
In swaying trees and in the bubbling spring;
We look, and find Him in each growing thing—
Can He be found in you?

Refrain

From dawn of day until the night is here
We look around us, and we feel Him near,
And joy lights up the path we once thought drear—
Does He shine forth in you?

Refrain

Throughout the world are eager ones who long
To leave their wretched paths of sin and wrong;
They seek the Christ amid the anxious throng—
Can they see Him in you?
