coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,

He chose¹⁰¹⁴ to give us birth through the word of truth,

that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.”

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.
