Blue Skies and Rainbows
By Garrett Boon on December 8, 2006 - Modified March 11, 2011
Blue skies and rainbows
And sunbeams from heaven.
Are what I can see when
My Lord is living in me.
CHORUS:Jesus is well and alive today,
He makes His home in my heart.
Never more will I be all alone since He
Promised me that we never would part.
Green grass and flowers,
All blooming in springtime,
Are works of the Master
I live for each day.
Tall mountains, green valleys,
The beauty that surrounds me.
All make me aware of the One
Who made it all.
I love this song and learned it at camp Manatawny a church of Christ camp my sisters and I went to as kids! I’m going to teach this to my son when he is born!

This is a beautiful song.. i started to sing this to my daughters but i only knew the chorus. I also listened to this song in bible study- Church of Christ el paso, Texas
I sang this song in mid-80′s at Camp Niati (spelling??) in Alabama- I think it was a Church fo Christ summer camp- my best friend Sunny took me along as her guest…that song has been a part of my walk ever since!
I sing it to my kids at bedtime.
When Gary Mabry was teaching at ACU (Abilene Christian University) in 1977 or 1978, this and a few other songs that he wrote were used in worship services, youth meetings, etc. They were published in a little paperback song book with a variety of other contemporary Christian songs. (Think it was called “Rejoice!”) Don’t know if they were also published in any traditional hymnals later, but they were great praise songs. Thanks for blessing us with your music, Mr. Mabry!
Hi I have been wondering about this song for years! I can still remember singing it at youth camp! I want to teach it to my kids but I only know one part. Is there any where that I can find a copy of the music?
I grew up with this song(Church of Christ). I remember it well. Wanted to see if I
could find the lyrics. The music is still there just needed the words.
Thanks Gary Mabry for a song that has stuck with me for 35 years.
Hey I was wondering if anyone can tell me where to download this song for my kids??? I love it!
Can anyone tell me how I can get the sheet music, melody or any music to go with Blue Skies and Rainbows.

WOW, I’ve been singing this song for years and just learned today that one of our Elders was actually WITH Mr. Mabry when he wrote this song!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Mr. Mabry for such a wonderful song!!!!!
I have been requested to sing this song at a funeral but searched deeply for the musical score with no luck. Where can I find the musical score for this??
Thank you.
Mr. Mabry,
We have a 5 year old little girl in our congregation that would like to lead your song at the Lads to Leaders convention this year. We cannot find the sheet music anywhere. Do you have any advice?
Thank you for your time,
Patti James
Patti, I don’t think that Mr. Mabry actively checks this post. He might, but I doubt it.
