I'm only but one small, green leaf
     Upon my Father's tree.
I know not what His will is,
     Or what He plans for me.

I'm just a single drop of dew
     Upon a blade of grass.
I don't know what God wants of me
     Or what will come to pass.

I'm a flower in God's garden,
     Trying hard to grow,
But I know not which way to bend,
     From whence His breeze will blow.

I'm a petal in a whirlwind
     Spinning 'round and 'round,
Praying earnestly for God
     To show me where I'm bound.

I'm a butterfly in a cobweb
     Attempting to be free;
Hoping for God's loving hand
     To come and rescue me.

I'm the child of my Father
     Just trying to understand,
But knowing in my faith and trust
     My life is in His hand.
