Lord, we would grow with you
Lord, we would grow with you…
        new shoots reaching out,
        hands stretched upward,
        like leaves newly formed,
        soaking up your light and warmth.
Lord, we would grow with you.

Lord, we would grow with you…
        in sunshine and rain,
        in darkness and light,
        in cold days and summer days,
        from Springtime to Winter.
Lord, we would grow with you.

Lord, we would grow with you…
        and bring forth fruit,
        that is pleasing to you,
        fed by your living water,
        giving sustenance to others.
Lord, we would grow with you.

Lord, would we grow with you….
        hold us in the palm of your hands and protect us. Amen.
