Repenting of our past
changing our behavior
growing strong in the word
fed by the gardener
wanting to show the owner
fruits of our faith
Pruned and chastened
strengthened in seasons
given a reprieve for the sentence
all of our days
offered his grace
Our master loving
hoping we will turn
the gardener interceding
giving us endless chances
hoping in the end, from each
a harvest of good fruits
