Tend

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 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
