My gift, a small seed

Given especially to me

To nurture and grow

Here to love and to feed

How humble a sprout

Just starting to show

Dependent on me

In a fertile heart will grow

I must nurture it with prayer

For it to grow great in size

Flowering forth for all

In front of our eyes

Help me water the seed of my gift

With flowing prayer and care

Help me nurture and cultivate it

With loving effort to share

As it grows, if I work

Keeping it safe to grow strong

It will multiply and sprout

And bloom into song

For when I present my bouquet

Of blooming gifts to the One

From where came the seed

He will smile and say; well done
