Garden of Life

In the garden of life, where souls take root,
The fruits of one’s labor reveal the truth.
Not all who speak in God’s holy name,
Are truly from Him, despite their claim.


A good tree yields fruit, sweet and pure, a bad tree’s harvest, none can endure. By actions and outcomes, true nature is shown, in the light of their deeds, their hearts are known. Look beyond the surface, the words they say, evaluate their character, the path they lay. For false teachings lead to dire consequence, and judgment awaits those who cause offense.

We bear the duty to discern and choose, to seek God’s truth, and not be confused. Study the Scriptures, let wisdom grow, in prayer and community, His truth we’ll know. With hearts attuned to God’s divine Word, we’ll recognize falsehoods, no longer deterred. Together we’ll stand, in faith and might, upholding His truth, shining His light.

The words of the Book, so powerful and true, transform our hearts, our minds renew. In Scriptures’ light, our paths align, with God’s will, so pure, divine. In humble prayer, we seek His face, repentance brings us to His grace. Forgiveness sought, amends we make, in faith and love, our steps we take.

Not just to hear, but act we must, in God’s commands, we place our trust. Living out faith, in deeds and care, His love and truth, we boldly share. As leaders, let us shine the light, guide others towards the path of right. in worship’s strength, united stand, together, we fulfill His grand plan.

Our covenant, before the Lord we lay, to follow Him, in every way. With hearts devoted, lives we give, in His wisdom, we choose to live. In prayer and trust, His guidance seek, in every challenge, strong or weak. Renew our vows, our faith proclaim, in God’s great love, we find our aim.

God’s righteousness brings life and revival, A beacon of hope in our daily survival. Seek a deeper relationship with God above, Centered on His Word, filled with His love. Find joy in lifelong obedience, pure and true, Focus on what matters, in all that we do.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
