(my advance apologies to those more horticulturally adept than i am!)
As a daffodil is both a bulb and a flower,
so am i both a sinner and a saint.
Without the bulb, there can be no flower.
it is only sinners who can be saints
through Christ's atoning work.
Only the blind can receive their sight,
only the sick can be made well.
only the simple can be made wise
and only the child-like nature made mature in You.
o holy Physician, cure that which is
so very wrong in me.
May the very dirt and filth of my sinful nature
Be transformed by You into fertile soil
for the blush and blossom of
Your Spirit's work.
