Today’s new psalm is a poem I wrote a couple weeks ago; I don’t remember most of the context around why I wrote it, but I remember being inspired by Isaiah Song by Maverick City Music. The book of Isaiah, especially around chapter 61, has come to mean a lot to me, especially with my team’s name (Jubilee) deriving from there. So, without further ado,
Gardens
Abba, bring spring to my soul!
Bud these branches, bloom these buds,
Bring beauty to this wanton wasteland.
Plant a garden in my soul,
Water it with Your Word,
Grow these seeds so long silent.
Turn the greying browns
To golden greens,
These ugly puddles
And struggling streams
Into waters of rest
And rivers of refreshment.
Turn the harsh and lonely wind
From east to southern
Ease and recline,
Breezes of invitation,
Slow and sweet.
Bring spring to my soul,
That I may go
And plant a new garden
In some deserted soul.
Thanks for reading!! Love y’all bunches,
Claire
