Tend

(Album: Simple - 2022)

In the landscape of my life
You don't rush through any season
You always take Your time
A careful hand, a gentle guide
You take what's dead away
And You prune what's running wild

So be the gardener of my heart, tend the soil of my soul
Break up the fallow ground, cut back the overgrown
And I won't shy away, I will let the branches fall
So what You want can stay
And what You love can grow

Through the winter, I'm still alive
What You've planted in the dirt
Is ever reaching to the light
You prepare me for darkened times
You'll sustain what You have started
And You'll teach me to abide

Be the gardener of my heart, tend the soil of my soul
Break up the fallow ground, cut back the overgrown
And I won't shy away, I will let the branches fall
So what You want can stay
And what You love can grow, grow

Have Your way in me, have Your way in me
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow

I'll remain in You, You'll remain in me
And I will trust Your timing
I'll remain in You, You'll remain in me
From the start until the ending
'Cause You know better

So be the gardener of my heart, tend the soil of my soul
Break up the fallow ground, cut back the overgrown
And I won't shy away, I will let the branches fall
So what You want can stay
And what You love can grow
