gardener – v2

Christ sowed the seeds
the words of creation;
words of love, parables,
were planted in our hearts

Christ pulled the weeds
demons that oppressed us,
the things that get in the way
burdens upon our lives

Christ pruned the dead
the suckers draining us,
cutting away all else
the kept us from God

Christ is the gardener
watching over us;
giving us living springs of water
to raise up the garden
a harvest unto God
