Oh, Great Artist!

You, who buried me in Life’s fertile soil,

Who whispered secrets to my hidden heart —

You wooed me to trust You in the great unknown,

And in my letting go,

You freed me from my seeds’ conflicted constraints.

Now from deep darkness I bloom in radiant light,

My buds wholly yielded to Your compelling grace.

In quiet repose, my tender petals and leaves unfurl;

Death’s pangs are forgotten as my roots anchor deep.

Your glory grows through my multi-layered unfolding —

My life bursts forth to proclaim Your praise!
