Only God
And the Lord shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:11
When we want to grow a garden, We plant the finest seed, Then fertilize and water it, And dig out every weed.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/seedsbulletflowers.jpg) Then, when we've done all we can, The wait seems very slow; For in spite of everything we do, Only God can make it grow.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/seedsbulletflowers.jpg) We can learn much from our garden, Many lessons can be found: If we want to grow God's kingdom, We must first prepare the ground.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/seedsbulletflowers.jpg) Then we have to plant the seed, And water it with His word; Carefully root out all the weeds, Then leave it to the Lord.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/seedsbulletflowers.jpg) For none of us can change a life, To make it pure and new; And none of us can make it grow, Like only God can do.
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/seedsbulletflowers.jpg) We have to wait upon the Lord, After we've done our part, Only God can make a garden grow, Only God can change a heart.
