Consider the Lilies

Flowers neither sow nor do they spin
Nor spend long laboured hours to beautify
Yet in their scented silence simply are…
There…and just by being…Jesus glorify

Speak to me Jesus…through my floral friends
That flowers can’t really speak I know full well
And yet…do I detect a sense of mirth
At us who often to think we know it all

They offer up…or so it seems to me
A purity of praise far beyond mine
Silent it’s true…but how their radiance rings
Love…manifest in colour and in line

Speak to me through this selfless living love
The beauty of their scented oratory
That leads my worship to a higher realm
And helps me…Rose of Sharon…worship Thee
