I'm so concerned with what I look like from the outside
And will I blossom into what You hope I'll be
Yet You're so patient just to help me see
The blooms come from a deeper seed
That You planted in me
Sometimes it's hard to grow
When everybody's watching
To have your heart pruned by the One
Who knows best
And though I'm bare and cold
I know my season's coming
And I'll spring up in Your endless faithfulness
Oh
With my roots deep in You
I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit
And though I'm small I'll still be standing in the storm.
Cause I am planted by the river
By Your streams of living water
And I'll grow up strong and beautiful
All for Your splendor Lord
So with my arms stretched out
I'm swaying to Your heartbeat
I'm growing with the sound of Your voice calling
You're bringing out the beauty that You have put in me
For Your joy and for Your glory falling, oh
With my roots deep in You
I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit
And though I'm small I'll still be standing in the storm.
Cause I am planted by the river
By Your streams of living water
And I'll grow up strong and beautiful
All for Your splendor Lord
Oh
Raise me in Your love, love, love,
You raise me in Your love
Raise me in Your power.
Thank You, thank You Lord
With my roots deep in You
I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit
And though I'm small I'll still be standing in the storm.
Cause I am planted by the river
By Your streams of living water
And I'll grow up strong and beautiful
All for Your splendor Lord
For Your splendor, Lord
