I’m just a little flower

When I first sang this song I was thinking about Lilly (an adult in our church).

I first heard this song as a teenager in New Zealand when some brothers were teaching us the guitar. I have since then always come back and gained encouragement from the words which reminds me that our function is just to shine! - To be a vessel to contain God's life - a mirror beholding and reflecting the glory of the Lord. May we be so simple not to care for 'knowing' or 'striving' so much - to simply feed on Him and He will take care of us.

I have been searching for all the verses and am so happy to have found them.

Does anyone know who was the composer of this beautiful song?

I have always appreciated this small song, especially while I was uncomfortably pregnant with my daughter. All I could do was trust the Lord, and sing Him this song in simplicity was a big help. I had forgotten all the stanzas, so I'm thankful to the Lord that Jamal shared them.

I appreciate that the Lord has called the saints to create this website reference and use it often. Thank you.

This song is a good reminder of our position before the Lord... to be a simple, open vessel, turned toward Him every day! Lord Jesus, make us poor in spirit and willing to receive whatever You have in store for us today.

I had never heard this song before, and appreciate the words very much. Thank you, Jamal, for the lyrics you added on May 21, 2010.

Thx for this song. I was supplied. This song makes me return to Him and I know I'm just a little flower.

When I went through this particular song,I realize my self to be nothing but a lily flower. It was so touching. I will be this lily flower open to the Lord. Wow

1. I'm just a little flower with open face;
I'm fully turned to God, receiving grace.
I don’t know how to try. This is my case
I’m just a lily trusting God

2. There’s nothing on this earth that I desire.
There’s no experience that I require.
I only want one thing that I aspire
To be a lily trusting God.

3. If when I trust in God I’m put to shame;
If when I walk with God I come out lame;
These things don’t bother me; I’m not to blame
Since I’m a lily trusting God.

4. With all your worrying to clothe yourself;
So many lies you’ve told to gather wealth;
And though you’ve gotten rich, you’ve lost your health
Just be a lily trusting God.

5. It seems you know so much, But yet you fall;
And though you talk so much, yet you won’t call;
So what’s the use of it, for after all
Just be a lily trusting God.

6. So please don’t bother me with all your fears;
You strive and try so hard with sweat and tears.
Have faith in Jesus Christ. He’s always near!
Just be a lily trusting God.

7. Yes, please don’t bother me, I’m growing fine.
Oh please don’t share with me what’s on your mind.
I may not know so much, but still I shine.
For I’m a lily trusting God.

8. And please don’t bother me with all your cares;
Don’t make me listen to your begging prayers;
Our God is very great—He really cares!
Just be a lily trusting God.

9. It seems that I don’t care so much for you;
But if you knew my heart, I really do;
Yet lilies don’t know how to fret and stew
I’m just a lily, How ’bout you?

Praise the Lord! Make me Your lily flower and just be so open to You!
