With blooms of faith in many hues,
And scents are there of sacrifice
That rise to heaven and diffuse.
The trees inside are green and fresh
With Spirit’s fruits of faithfulness,
Peace, patience, love, joy, self-control,
Plus kindness, goodness, gentleness.
To find some ground for seeds to plant,
I sought out a protected space,
Where birds could not steal and devour,
Nor thorns and rocks fill up the place.
The soil I tilled was Word of God,
So His laws I would ever keep.
The seeds I sowed were promises—
Encouragement, I buried deep.
I’d living water from a stream
To help plants grow and stay alive,
And roots not wither from the sun
Since in good ground they can survive.
My garden’s yielding a full crop
With God’s love and His tender care.
In my heart’s garden, He abides,
And I can always find Him there.
