Fragrance

I am a pleasing fragrance to Him
the one who set me free
patience, love, gentleness and others
fruit from when He hung on the tree

He is purer than spring rains
more patient than a granite mountain
kinder than the warmth of the sun
sweeter than wild honey

I am a new creation in Him
and I have the spirit of the living God
He dwells inside and is forever there
the power that raised Him lives inside of me

I am a flower whose petals are barely open
yet my perfume pleases Him
His word quietly nurtures me
as I bloom into a full bouquet
