Life is So Much Like a Garden

Life is so much like a garden
Made beautiful through doing what's best
If we are filled with goodness till our days are done
The resurrection will be a sweet harvest

Let's apply the spirit to all of our actions
And with all our heart, mind, and might, trust Jesus
Believing, let's avoid doubt and worldly distractions
And implore the Lord to work His purposes through us

We should be doers of the word...
Rather than just one who hears
Into action, we should be stirred
Knowing salvation nears

Spread the word Scatter seeds Spread the word Through your deeds Doers of the word Not just hearers

• Romans 2:13: "For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified." This emphasizes that true righteousness comes from action.
• Luke 11:28: "But he said, 'Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!'"
