The wreath

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Michelle said, "Please, don’t hang that wreath,
It’s dusty and worn, just let it breathe."
Ten years strong, it’s had its day,
So I made a note, then went on my way.

By 9:30, in Michael’s store,
Picking ribbons, bows, and more.
Michelle on speaker, talking style,
Then a voice chimed in—made me smile.

(Chorus)
Oh, a seed was planted there,
In a moment, in the air.
More than ribbons, more than bows,
It was love the Father shows.

(Verse 2)
She liked magpies, caught my eye,
Something told me—don’t pass by.
She helped with colors, how to tie,
But I felt a whisper deep inside.

I shared my past, the hospital stay,
The dream of Christmas, far away.
Then she spoke, her story poured,
A heart once broken, now restored.

(Chorus)
Oh, a seed was planted there,
In a moment, in the air.
More than ribbons, more than bows,
It was love the Father shows.

(Verse 3)
"Your Father loves you," I softly said,
"Like the prayer, by which we’re led."
"Jesus is your brother too,
And He desires your heart so true."

Tears welled up, just a trace,
As light and love lit up her face.
Told her where the truth was found,
A Bible where His words resound.

(Bridge)
Not just shopping, not just ties,
But a moment under Heaven’s skies.
In a store, with ribbon rolls,
God was working in our souls.

(Final Chorus)
Oh, a seed was planted there,
In a moment, in the air.
More than ribbons, more than bows,
It was love the Father shows.

(Outro)
So now the wreath hangs fresh and new,
But more than that—His love shines through.
For every heart, in every place,
He meets us there with boundless grace.
