Every Flower Has A Name

Some say the petals fade,

that they don’t mean much.

But I see living praise

in every fragile touch.

Each stem has its own song,

each petal, its own perfume.

Each color tells a story…

only Heaven could bloom.

Nothing You make is wasted.

Nothing You make is the same.

Every flower has a purpose.

Every flower has a name.

When I look a little closer,

I see Your gentle hand

in the smallest hidden details,

and the wonders vast and grand.

I will never understand

how some can fail to see

Your presence in the beauty

that surrounds us endlessly.

If only we would slow down,

and truly stop long enough

to notice all You’ve fashioned

with such tenderness and love.

Every tree, every flower,

every creature, every field

bears the touch of Heaven,

a truth creation reveals…

That’s You.

Every life, its own flame.

Every soul, its sacred place.

You formed us with intention,

and shaped us all by grace.

We are loved.

We are held.

We are carried

by You.

Oh yes, Lord.

In Your love, we bend and blossom.

We dance and sway

through wind and rain.

And even in the fiercest storms,

You help us rise again.

Each time I stop…

each time I slow down,

each time I look closely,

I see You all around.

In every living creature,

in every breath,

in all the hidden workings

of Your wise and careful hands.

This world is Yours.

And it is beautiful.

So breathtakingly beautiful.

No one is here by chance.

No soul has been misplaced.

We are all held together,

lovingly shaped by grace.

From the birds across the sky,

to the waves upon the sea,

to the grass that dances softly,

all creation sings of Thee.

Of You.

The mountains lift their voices.

The wildflowers bloom in color.

The stars burn bright in wonder,

all creation stands in awe…

Of You.

And if You name each flower,

and You count each star above,

then surely You have written

my own name in Your love.

When I feel unseen, forgotten,

when I question why I’m here,

I remember every flower

and the truth becomes so clear.

If every flower has a purpose,

then so do I.

If all creation sings Your glory,

then Lord, help my heart sing too…

It’s You.

In all this beauty,

in all this grace,

in every flower,

in every name…

I see You.
