Blessings in my garden - banana peppers
Father, you are never-changing,
steady and in command.
Every blessing in my
life came down from Your hand.
You chose to draw me
to You through the word of truth,
That I might have
eternal life and ever be with You.
Since You have
adopted me to be among your daughters,
I now, through grace,
have access to Your springs of living waters.
Help those springs flow through me, spill out and overflow
That I might have the
privilege of helping others know
The marvelous grace You’ve extended to each
one
Who, by faith,
receives the gift You provided through Your Son.
