Lily of the Valley
Beholding the lily of the valley*
I’m brought to the beauteous Eden’s garden
blooming, feasting with life celebration
showcasing the Creator I adore.
Caressing each delicate bud, I bask
at its wafted sweet scent, offering hope
reminding me of the Saviour’s savour
when He sacrificed Himself with love’s price.
Immaculately white, it enthralls me
exuding purity that arrests soul
checking my righteous walk along God’s path
to confess sins and claim Christ’s full pardon.
Grateful to the Lord for blessings’ bounty
my heart worships Him with contentment bliss
learning that He takes care of lilies well
arraying them with beauty and grandeur.
Cognizant of its blest significance
I’m jubilant for the lily’s great roles
midst biblical verses so asserted
exalting Almighty that it pleases.
*Song 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
