With You In Mind

Another love letter from Jesus (2025).

I designed the smell of rain
And I designed cottonwood trees
With you in mind.

I designed wildflowers
And I designed sunbeams
With you in mind.

The things you see,
I made for you.

I designed your mother’s arms
And I designed your best friend's smile
With you in mind.

I designed dancing
And I designed deep, passionate kisses
With you in mind.

The people you love,
I made for you.

I designed pain and suffering
And I designed joy and endless peace
With you in mind.

I designed hard, tough wood
And I designed the metal they make into nails
With you in mind.

The death I died,
I died for you.

I designed citrus trees
And I designed honey and sugar
With you in mind.

I designed the smell of fresh bread
And I designed fresh-picked berries
With you in mind.

The food you eat,
I made for you.

I designed childbirth
And I designed scraped-up knees
With you in mind.

I designed curiosity
And I designed exploration
With you in mind.

The life you live,
I made for you.

I did not make you to love the world,
I made the world for you to love,
And all I ask is that you love it all,

Live it all,
With me in mind.
