What shall I plant in my garden today?
This garden which is my life.
It matters not what I’ve planted before,
Or if weeds in my garden ran rife.

Shall I plant a garden that’s filled with peace?
A garden that’s filled with love?
A garden filled with kindness and hope
Sent to me by grace from above?

What shall I plant in my garden today?
Shall I plant, despite anguish and pain,
A garden that’s bursting with patience and trust,
A garden where joy has domain?

Have weeds overtaken my garden of life?
Did my garden grow envy and strife?
I can start a new garden this very day
Of all things which lead to new life.

Let me weed out my wounds, my hurts and my sins.
Let betrayal I’ve felt be uprooted.
Let trust take their place in a garden of light,
With forgiveness forever included.

May I plant in my garden the purest of love,
A love that is rooted in truth.
May I plant a garden which ever endures.
Despite my errors of youth.

May I plant this day, in every way, LORD,
A garden of goodness anew—
By Your grace may I plant and begin to grow,
A garden much blessed by You.
