Consider The Lilies
Consider the lilies that grow in the field,
The majestic colors and the fragrance they yield,
They grow from the light that Jesus provides,
Reaching to Heaven, where He resides.
As long as they grow in His precious light,
They give off pure glory in everyone's sight,
The wisdom of God in the richness of soil,
In Him they are planted, there's no need to toil.
God's provided the lilies everything they need,
How much more He's given His very own seed,
He sends rain from heaven to water their thirst,
Yet His love for us has always been first.
If we turn our faces to His glorious light,
No matter the storm, He'll make it alright,
As long as we stay in the Truth of The Word,
We'll continue to grow, strong and assured.
Our soil is His Word, ever faithful and true,
Our rain is His Spirit, poured out on you,
Our light is His Son, our Rays of Glory,
The rest is easy, just follow His story.
We need not worry, get caught up in doubt,
He's already provided the only way out,
He gave us Jesus, so trust in His Love,
Just like the liles that He tends from Above.
