Weeds

Weeds are the reminder
Evil doesn’t go a way
In this generation
Nor does aggravation
Sorrow or pain

Only fear can go a way
Because I said
Fear not
I am here to stay

The crosses of life
Are here to stay
As well
For a while

See how evil
Plants itself
Under our feet

And attempts to
Strangle our hearts

Be of good cheer
I will never leave
Or forsake you
Is the clarion call
Our warm embrace
Our victory in the race

An eternal sun
Rises every morning
To remind us of
The glorious day
When tears will
Be no more

The light of day
The reminder to pray
The energy
To push away
The barking dogs
Of fear
Is ever ours

Embrace the power
Of my presence
Feel the warmth.
Of My sacrificial sun
Burning with love
For you

Gentle are my fingers
Running through.
Your hair
Reminding you
I am here

I am the King
Of weeds
I fill all your needs
But no peace until
You give me your will

Then you will be able
(This is not a fable)
To slow it down
Come close to the ground
Be like the earth
From which you have sprung
You are a weed yourself
Grown for my glory
