This very old rose was planted by my grandfather some seventy years ago. Its fragrance is beautiful. I can never pass it without stopping to enjoy what Papa planted. We are blessed by so much that has been lovingly planted in our life’s garden!

I was reminded yesterday when I stopped of this song written by Graham Kendrick in 1986.

May the fragrance of Jesus fill this place. (Men)
May the fragrance of Jesus fill this place. (Women)
May the fragrance of Jesus fill this place. (Men)
Lovely fragrance of Jesus, (Women)
Rising from the sacrifice (All)
Of lives laid down in adoration.

May the glory of Jesus fill His church. (Men)
May the glory of Jesus fill His church. (Women)
May the glory of Jesus fill His church. (Men)
Radiant glory of Jesus, (Women)
Shining from our faces (All)
As we gaze in adoration.

May the beauty of Jesus fill my life. (Men)
May the beauty of Jesus fill my life. (Women)
May the beauty of Jesus fill my life. (Men)
Perfect beauty of Jesus, (Women)
Fill my thoughts, my words, my deeds, (All)
My all I give in adoration.

As we lead and share in Worship, may this be our prayer.

May we be blessed and be a blessing!

John,

(Penwith Deanery Lay Ministers’ Chaplain)
