-synthesis

Nourished in the dirt 
Poison absorbed
Breathe out number eight
Life from high above
Leaves raised to the sun

Nourished in the Word
All sin absolved
Sing out holy praise
Life through Awesome love
Hands raised to the Son

Planted and grown
For plenty of uses:
Adventure, climb
Quick door decorations
Fire’s fuel from wood

Beloved and known
So no more excuses:
Love-law is prime
Sick, poor ministrations
Prayers oft we should
