lyrics

The Tree That You Planted

V. 1
I wandered this Earth like an aimless thought
Paying no mind to the course that I’d plot
The wisdom I thought I’d seized, I’ve forgot
And I was needing my bearings replaced
Lonely, pretending I was looking for space
The fruit of the tree that You planted was grace

V. 2
My fingers were numb from years of misuse
My body was battered from my own abuse
It’s amazing how thin I’d worn my last excuse
But at last my shoes had been laced
I could still feel the warmth of that first embrace
The fruit of the tree that You planted was grace

V. 3
There’s nothing left that I built with my hands
What I’ve made for myself has crumbled to sand
The man that I made came unraveled, unplanned
All my monuments defaced
I was finally able to pick up the pace
The fruit of the tree that You planted was grace

V. 4
Now I’ve got this light that I raise to the sky
Though sometimes I still feel brittle and dry
I know where this ends, but I’m still scared to die
And here He stands pleading my case
I stand in awe, feeling wildly out of place
The fruit of the tree that You planted was grace
