One flower in a water glass
Is dressing up the day
I found it leaning by the fence
And asked it in for tea
It sits beside the sugar bowl
And beautifies for free
It isn't any special kind
It's special all the same
Consider how the flowers live
They neither spin nor sew
And yet the King in all his robes
Was never dressed like so
A petal curls a little bit
The way a smile begins
The morning light comes visiting
And touches all its skins
The table has a centerpiece
The centerpiece has grace
Consider how the flowers live
They neither spin nor sew
And yet the King in all his robes
Was never dressed like so
If He can dress a fence-line bloom
In better than a king
Then surely all my small todays
Are safe beneath His wing
Mmm... mmm... mmm
Consider how the flowers live
They neither spin nor sew
And yet the King in all his robes
Was never dressed like so
Consider how the flowers live
They neither spin nor sew
And yet the King in all his robes
Was never dressed like so
One flower in a water glass
And plenty on the way
