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
