Tender Shoot

Plant me by

your holy water

So my roots

can surely grow

I know Lord

That I am only

A tender Shoot

In Your eyes

But I need you

To mend my heart

To act upon

What is right

So take my life

in your hands

Let it fit within your plan

---

But I Will be still

and I will know

That you are God

And I know that you

Will fulfill

The Desires

of my heart

Some may say

Turn away

But I will not

For I am yours.

---

Your seed

will not be broken

For your word

Has surely spoken

These growing pains

Are okay

These roots will grow

to nourish me

Take my sight

Out of mine

let me see

from Your eyes
