God’s good planting – v5

There are new shoots for the vineyard
prepared in the greenhouse, within hearts,
new growth from the garden, from us,
from the soil well-prepared
God’s Word living within us
the Spirit alive with us
the soil, the shoots,
for God’s good planting
A community restored
hope for the Garden
tended, offered,
being faithful only,
to ensure God’s harvest
the bounty of God
