New Release: Salvation Garden (James 1:19-21)

Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.
James 1:19-21 MSG

Verse 1
“Post this at all the intersections, dear friends:
Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue,
And let anger straggle along in the rear.
God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger.”

Chorus
Lord, tame my tongue, calm my soul,
Let Your Spirit take control.
Humble my heart, shape my ways,
Let my life be full of grace.
You’re planting peace where pride once stood
Grow in me what’s true and good.

Verse 2
“So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage.
In simple humility, let our gardener, God,
Landscape you with the Word,
Making a salvation-garden of your life.”

Bridge
Pull every weed of anger and pride,
Let Your Word be the truth I hide.
Teach me to listen, to speak with love,
And let my actions honor You above.

Make a garden out of me, Lord
Shape me with Your truth
I lay it down… I lift You up
James 1:19-21
Salvation garden… it’s Yours
