Flowers
by Samantha Ebert

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
