"Deep Roots"

(John 15:1-8)

I want deep roots to hold me
In the place where I belong
Stretching deep for sustenance
And all that makes me strong.

In the place where I belong
Here where God has set me
And all that makes me strong
In His love and grace.

Here where God has set me
Among dear Christian friends
In His love and grace
I hope to carry on.

Among dear Christian friends
Working for the Lord,
I hope to carry on
Where others have gone before.

Working for the Lord,
Abiding in the Vine
Where others have gone before
His love enfolds me.

Abiding in the Vine
Stretching deep for sustenance
His love enfolds me
I want deep roots to hold me.
