In my garden plant a tree,
The Tree of LOVE, O let it be
For Love is kind and good and free
I want to love more, Lord, help me.


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of JOY, O let it be
Joy’s love singing, humming with glee,
I need more joy, please Lord, help me.


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of PEACE, O let it be
Peace is love resting quietly-
I need your peace, please Lord, help me


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of PATIENCE O let it be
Patience- enduring lovingly,
I need more patience, Lord, help me.


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of GOODNESS O let it be
Goodness, loves’ mark of harmony
I need your goodness, Lord, help me.


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of FAITHFULNESS  let it be,
Loyal, devotion, true constancy,
I need more faithfulness, Lord help me


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of HUMILITY  let it be
Meekness Love's acting unselfishly-
I need more meekness, Lord, help me.


In my garden plant a tree
The Tree of CONTROLLING SELF let it be
Temperance holding Love’s reigns firmly,
I need more control of self, Lord help me.


Lord Jesus, please, my gardener be
Prune and water, keep me weed-free
May I be rooted and grounded in Thee
So that my life may more fruitful be.


By Rose Francis


 “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance against such things there is no law”. Galatians 5:22

People are like trees, we bear fruit, we have our own season and we grow. Just be sure to stay strong amidst storms, rooted deeply.
