Inspiring Words for the Week

THE GARDEN OF LIFE

Sin is like a garden

Full of nasty weeds...

They come by not providing

For the garden's needs.

Our life is like that garden

That looked so good today,

But the first weed came a-popping up

When | forgot to pray.

I didn't notice that first weed,

My garden still looked good,

I thought I'd take the day off,

At least | thought | could.

My life was filled with storms today,

My garden got all wet.

Hurt feelings and bad temperament -

I just can't work the garden yet.

Today life looks so good to me,

I can hardly keep my thoughts all straight,

The things I'd like and places to go

Oh, the garden will just have to wait.

The thoughts I had were not so kind,

But | was in the right.

I should be in the garden,

Oh, I'll think about it over night.

Today I pecked in the garden,

It looked in disarray.

Weeds and weeds and more weeds,

Oh, how did it get this way?

Our life is like that garden,

Let's take care of it each day.

The weeds of sin won't grow in your garden

If you by the Master stay.
