I am amazed at the beauty in simple things
Crystal wine glasses with stems of blue
A lovely vase holding a white flower too
Oh yes, the beauty in simple things are true.

The beauty in simple things delight the eye
Like clouds floating across a bright blue sky
Lovely sunshine on a beautiful day
And flowers growing along our pathway.

Beauty in simple things are awesome
Man makes the crystalware that you see
God helps create all of this for you and me
Beauty in simple things is how He wants it to be.

Midi playing ~ "'Tis the Gift to be Simple"
Written by Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr. in 1848
Words below are traditional with additional words © TGC
(without the refrain)

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
~
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return,
"Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn,
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day
Then we'll all live together and we'll all learn to say,
~
'Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be,
'Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of "me",
And when we hear what others really think and really feel,
Then we'll all live together with a love that is real.
