God of our Time

Like the beautiful dandelion
that bright yellow flower
which no one appreciates
in the middle of their lawn
A weed is just a lovely flower
growing in the “wrong” place.
You place us where we need to be.
Help us to see it.
Help us to be it.
It is all without a why.
God of our Time
Like the dry and prickly desert cactus
All alone in solitude
Blossoming into beautiful bloom
No one sees it.
No one needs see it.
You see it.
You made us to be it.
It is all without a why.
You are the oasis in the
desert of our hearts.
You are the living water.
God of our Time
God of all Time
It is all without a why.
