God’s Treasure

Amidst the beauty of God’s vineyard,
In the flower garden that He tends,
He nurtures the fruit of the orchard —
His treasured prizes whom He defends

There grows a cherished tree that He planted,
One with blooms that characterize His love,
She flourishes because she is watered
By God’s Word and His Spirit above

Her heart is a tender example
Of sacrifice, obedience and grace,
The love she shows to all is ample
To remind us to look to His face

Bright pink, flourishing flowers growing in a vineyard
