Several years ago a Hollywood producer posted an open call for songs for a TV movie he was making about a girl who's in love with a man she keeps painting in her artwork. Another guy comes along a vies for her love. Dale King and I wrote a couple of songs together and submitted them. They were appreciative but kindly rejected. I especially liked one idea and thought it could be converted to a Christian song. After over a dozen rewrites, this is what I ended up with. We hope you like it. Thanks to Dale for the melody and Jeff Conte again for his fine vocals. All glory to God! "WITH YOU IN MY WORLD" By Jeff Leslie/Dale King 3/08/04-9/7/2020 v.1 I love to paint Your portrait, Lord You mean so much to me Every shade of color shows Your love for all to see v.2 Above you there are angels singing Songs to bring You praise Your arms are reaching out to me And a smile is on Your face -Chorus With You in my world, I will always have a friend With You in my world, the love will never end Just give me a canvas, I will find new ways of praising You, my Lord As I paint my happiness with You in my world v.3 When I paint a waterfall I make the vapor rise And You are there to watch it all With a rainbow by Your side v.4 I could draw You flying With the moon upon Your wings With You in my world I feel That I have everything ---- Repeat Chorus -Bridge All it takes to make my watercolor world complete Are the colors of the love You give to me -Chorus With You in my world, I will always have a friend With You in my world, the love will never ends Just give me a canvas, I will find new ways of praising You, my Lord As I paint my happiness with You in my world Yes, I paint my happiness with You in my world
