Welcome To the Garden

Welcome To the Garden

Welcome to the garden
Can you see?
Life upon display
All of my garden
Lives to praise the King
Working with the soil
On my knees
Hand upon the trowel
All of my spirit
Gives back to the King

Waiting for the harvest patiently
Like a promise hoped for anciently
God knows all our cares and needs
Hoeing round the plants most carefully
Thanking God for new life prayerfully
Nursing this life from seed

Celebrate the harvest
Crops are here
Gather up the fruit
Each with its sweetness
Treats from God my King
See the fields of splendor
Rows of beans
Grapes along the vine
They are abiding
Sharing with the king

Smell the apple cider, sip a glass
Wander to the squash and pumpkin patch
Underneath the tall oak tree
Leaves are turning yellow, orange and red
Falling by the orchard, porch, and shed
Fall air wafts through the breeze

Musical Interlude: ["Bringing In the Sheaves" - verse (Shaw/Minor)]

All around the country
Brown corn stalks
Going on and on
And every kernel
Coming from the King
Storing what is gathered
Work's reward
Reaping's now complete
Leaving the gleaning
Up to God my King

Walk in fields of wonder, I'm amazed
God is showing death and life and grace
Working out for all the good
Winter's getting closer, nights are cold
There'll be falling sleet and ice and snow
Time to chop firewood

Outro:
Welcome to the garden
Can you see?
Life upon display
All of my garden
Praising the King
