Time to Grow
by Brenda Flowers

Lord, I am thankful for You
For the life in me.
Giving me hope and a dream
I’m created purposefully.

I’m here, for this time
Not without reason.
The babe grows in me
The fruit of the vision.

Oh, the pain of labor.
Will it not end?
Yes, the time is close.
Hold on, faith does not bend.

A seed takes time to grow.
It’s nurtured from above.
The plant pushes and battles.
Obstacles are overcome by love.

My babe, my destiny
My hope found in You.
I experience joy
When its birthing is through.

New life, rejoicing
A dream is fulfilled.
Life’s purpose is found
When to You, I yield.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you , plans to give you hope and a future.”
