God’s Garden

God’s Garden by Sue Garza
With a planter's hand you created me, Lord
You designed my heart, molding it with strokes of purpose.
You sow hope and determination into my flesh.
You enlighten my senses with an awareness of things beyond myself.
Design your garden in me, Oh Lord.

With tender care you feed me, Lord
You renew my muscles with the soil of endurance and strength.
You pollinate me with the bold truth of your Word.
You water me with desire from heaven.
Design in your garden in me, Oh Lord.

With thanksgiving I praise you, Lord.
My garden flourishes with love that cannot be contained.
It renews and refreshes itself in your hand.
It sanctifies all that goes forth from me into the world.
Design your garden in me, Oh Lord.

With surrender, I trust you, Lord.
That as my garden wilts and fades and time goes passing by,
You'll call me on eagle's wings and place me in your open palm,
To view the love and work I'll leave behind.
Design your garden in me, Oh Lord.
