Flowers and nectar

 Draw near to me my child and I will speak to you

Consider the flowers of the field 

Only for a short while are they clothed in glory

Then they cease

Their time in the field is short

Yet whilst they are here do they not supply sweet nectar to the birds and bees

They support many 

And yeild many offspring

You are like the flower that feeds the birds

Because you are found in me you have a nectar sweet as honey 

It feeds the lost, the vulnerable, the lonely , the outcast 

They shall gather around my people 

For they have my  heart 

You shall be like the flower in the field 

Rooted in good soil and glorious

You will feed many 

You will produce much fruit 

You will bear offspring as numerous as the stars

Use your time in the field wisely for it is short

Amen

Mountains and seas

Even though the mountains crumble and the seas rage

I will praise you my Lord my God

Even though my enemies assail against me

I will honour the name of the Lord

For he is almighty God

If I am poor I will praise you my Lord my God

If I have riches beyond the dreams of avarice I will honour you my Lord my God

Where can I find true acceptance my Lord my God

It is found in you alone

All my needs are met in you my Lord

Even though I have nowhere to lay my head

I will not deny you

I am weary and burdened

Yet I praise you my Lord my God

The Lord is sovereign and royal

He alone governs kings

By his hand rulers rise and fall

Let my people rejoice for I am coming on the clouds

Be attentive to my voice

Listen and I will teach you the way you should go

Open your heart and I will refresh your spirit

Amen
