Born to Bloom II
by Marijo Phelps God handed me a package, Wrapped carefully in His love. I gently removed the wrapping And saw a mass of roots With tiny green plant above. "What am I to do with this, It has no soil or earth?" And the Lord replied, "It's a plant of faith Which grows in your new birth." "If those roots grow deep in me They might break me all apart." With loving gentleness He softly replied, "Yea, even your stony heart." You mean I must let go Of that which is me. And let the roots go Deep within To make a place for Thee?" "Allow Me to work in you And soon you will find My gift of roots Will help you grow In body and soul, Mine." "Well, Lord, I guess You know Being the greatest gardener of all That Your roots don't grow In stony hearts But in fertile, well tilled soil." "Lord, do with me what You will Use me as Thine own, break my rocky heart Into Thy Spirit's Lifelong home." "Jesus, I thank and praise You, For this massive bunch of root, That will break me into fertile soil To be used to produce Your fruit!"
