The Lord's Bouquet

 

I picked a bouquet for Jesus

And put it in a vase;

Then I humbly bowed my head,

And said my dinner grace.

 

I lit a candle with a match,

And blessed the glowing flame

And thanked the Lord for daily bread,

And praised His holy name.

 

The vase that hold the Lord's bouquet

Is just a small pint jar;

Because I have no proper one

To thank the Morning Star.

 

Nevertheless I thank thee Lord,

For all I have today

Including the homey little jar

That holds the Lord's bouquet.
