Oh to be clothed like one of the lilies of the field
the irises in my garden, the monarch, the cheetah
any number of plants and animals, living in creation
For they are clothed with fabrics of beauty, of bright colors
gifted with these by the creator, without work,
without toil, as they are made
So we should trust, in the provision of our savior
our loving father, watching for our needs
Trust in him and believe in his care
for he provides for those who will be
as the grasses of the field;
and those whom he loves,
how much more will we receive
