A BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING UMBEL

Humanity was a flowering umbel,

connected by a common source.

But, thanks to sin, we have become

merely a ragged jumble

of weeds so withered and course

we deserve Thy odium.

Yet, instead of hatred,

we have incurred

Thy mercy and Thy grace.

You give chase

to the lonely and forlorn soul

with granting salvation

as Your only goal.

Yesm You would erase all our sin,

and make us once again

into a beautifully flowering umbel

if only we would repent.

That is why You sent

Your only begottenn Son to the cross.

You have spared no expense to save the lost

and make us once again

into a beautifully flowering umbel
