LOVES FLOWER

God created me I am like a tall flower
so full of delight in fragrance
and splendor of color

Until I am pelted by rain; hail then hits me
heavy and hard is it's assault

I am then trampled under foot since
I no longer resemble the flower I once was
I am now just a battered down plant

But my roots have not suffered from all
the attacks that were made
So they are slowly able to help me rise
up again to be that flower which I once was

Gazing upon me now one would never believe
thatIoncewasbentover, broken down, mangled
and such a disfigured sight

I am now the image of my first bloom
only much more intense is my fragrance
and my color magnificently bright

God created me I am like a tall flower
so full of delight in fragrance
and splendor of color

Come Find Me Lord

I am lost Lord Jesus
Are you searching for me?
I am in the wilderness
Why can’t you see?

My eyes can’t focus
To see the forest for the trees
I stepped in a nest
I’m being stung by the bees

I am tangled in brush
The grass is so thick
The forest is dense
And I feel so sick

My heart does ache
I’m calling out to you
Abba, come find me
I give so many clues

I describe where I am
Each landmark along the way
Each obstacle in detail
Can’t you hear me pray?

I cry so loudly
For I feel you have gone
And left me alone
To find my way home

Abba, are you searching?
Can’t you see where I am
My arms reaching upward
Your lost little lamb?

Your word says to trust
You’ll never leave my side
When I need you the most
It’s then that you hide
