(a sister’s version)
For if we were to plant a garden
Enjoy the beauty as it grows
The colors of a rainbow
The aroma of a rose
Yet not tend to the keeping
Allow the weeds to begin to grow
Our garden would be overrun
This lesson we need to know
For a seed was planted in our heart
Where the love of Christ lives within
And we must tend to the keeping
Or the weeds will filter in.
So we ask His Holy Spirit to tend this garden
Experience the joy as it continues to grow
Living water will allow it to flourish
That we may joyfully reap what He did sow.
