One of my sisters and I share the love of gardening. It’s a passion really. She sent me the link for this song stating, “I found our anthem!”
Enjoy!
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and hoe and a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumbling down
Pullin’ weeds and pickin stones,
We are made of dreams and bones
I feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain, I’ll find my way in nature’s chain
Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care
An old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree
In my garden, I’m as free as that feathered thief up there
Which song is your anthem for your current season?
For everything its season,
and for every activity under heaven its time:
a time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to uproot;
a time to kill and a time to hear;
a time to pull down and a time to build up;
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
at time for mourning and a time for dancing;
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them;
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek and a time to lose;
a time to keep and a time to throw away;
a time to tear and a time to mend;
a time for silence and a time for speech;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
