Gathered in, into God’s garner
our treasure, our lives, like the wheat
gathering in by the gardener,
the landowner, fed and watered,
nurtured, growing ever
abiding, in the vine, living
breathing, his spirit within us
ever part of the flock
within the fold
gathered in,
from the threshing floor
good grain, forever abiding
living in God’s garners
evermore
