Tended with Love – v2

As if a garden, our lives
to our Father God;
The joy, love, relationship
our connection with God, our families,
our friends, neighbors, even strangers
tended with love, a daily practice
of our walk, daily, seeking God’s will.

Following God’s model, of living as a servant,
as Christ, His example, our brother
offering such love, in coming to the earth
as the fulfillment of prophecy, and more

The disciplines of His life, now our prayer
our meditation, in times in corporate worship
all of these are tangible ways to model
to live our lives as Christ;
Nurturing, watering, weeding
tending the garden of our lives
a harvest for our God.
