“My Heavenly Father Loves Me,” Friend, Feb. 2013, 27 I Can Play It! My Heavenly Father Loves Me (Simplified) Words and music by Clara W. McMaster Expressively 132–152 Whenever I hear the song of a bird Or look at the blue, blue sky, Whenever I feel the rain on my face Or the wind as it rushes by, Whenever I touch a velvet rose Or walk by our lilac tree, I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world Heav’nly Father created for me. He gave me my eyes that I might see The color of butterfly wings. He gave me my ears that I might hear The magical sound of things. He gave me my life, my mind, my heart: I thank him rev’rently For all his creations, of which I’m a part. Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me. © 1961 LDS. Arr. © 2012 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc.
