I shall sit and wait on where you, Lord, tell me where to go

The next steps, that will teach me how to grow

Like a flower, bloomed in faith from above

Nurtured with your hope, showered with your love

I shall wait in faith, on my next course of action

With patience and trust as my reaction

Like a garden waiting for its spring

You will be my gardener, my everything

The one I trust to give me what I need

Giving me growth and taking out the weeds

I shall be where you call me to be

Knowing you are faithful, and your love I can see

I will trust you to tend to me with love and care

For I know Lord, you are always there

Tending to me and helping me to grow

So I will listen, where you tell me to go

For you are my gardener, in this place

Planted and nurtured, by your love and grace

Nurtured by the Gardener

Psalm 144:3

LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?
