Flowers

Well blue skies and hillsides
Feel so far away
And I wrote in my notebook
That I've seen better days

Than the ones as of late
I can't bear the weight
The rain won't stop pouring
Out my window pane

And I haven't left my bedroom in 76 days
I wish something would change
Cause I'm losing faith
So I brought it up in a desperate prayer

Lord, why are you keeping me here?
Then He said to me
Child, I'm planting seeds
I'm a good God

And I have a good plan
So trust that I'm holding a watering can
And someday you'll see
That flowers grow in the valley

So whatever the reason
I'm barely getting by
I'll trust it's a season
Knowing that you're by my side

Every step of the way
And I'll be okay
Cause I brought it up in a desperate prayer
Lord, why are you keeping me here?

Then He said to me
Child, I'm planting seeds
I'm a good God and I have a good plan
So trust that I'm holding a watering can

And someday you'll see
That flowers grow in the valley
When I'm on the mountain
And looking down below

I'll see a valley of flowers
That needed time to grow
And I'll thank you for the rain
The hurt and days of pain

And I'll bring it up in a grateful prayer
Thank you, Jesus, for keeping me there
You know just what I need
And you've planted seeds

Cause you're a good God
With a real good plan
And you hold my world
And a watering can

So I can have peace
Cause flowers grow in the valley
