God sees a Butterfly.



You have been like a caterpillar crawling along the ground.
God keeps calling you with a great sound.
He is saying come out, come out, come out.
He is whispering in the night; it's not a shout.
It's time for the butterfly to spread her wings and fly.
What are you waiting for! Is God's cry.
Caterpillar, stay alive! stay alive! long enough to become that butterfly.
Many stages, you will grow. Let the Lord fill your soul.
From a life all alone, God is going to show you where you belong.
God sees a butterfly; let that be your song.
Fly butterfly, fly where you belong.
