help me to tend my garden

help me to tend my garden

to water, to plant

to nurture the seeds

help me to weed

to be vigilant daily

not giving the weeds

time to root, to grow

guide me in the tending

in the feeding, the watering

give me a harvest to share

prune the dead away

the fruitless branches

help me to tend

my garden for You.
