I Saw God Wash The World Last Night
“I saw God wash the world last night
With His sweet showers on high
and then when morning came
i saw Him hang it out to dry
He washed it each blade of grass
and every trembling tree;
He flung His showers against the hills
and swept the rolling sea
the white rose is a cleaner white
the red, a richer red
Since God washed every fragrant face
and put them to bed
theres not a bird theres not a bee
the wings along the way
but is a cleaner bird or bee
than it was yesterday
i saw God wash the world last night
ah would He wash me
as clean of all my dust and dirt
as that old birch tree!”
― Dr. W. L. Stige
