With roots deep in your love

I have stilled and quieted myself,
just like a small child
is quiet with its mother
My soul longs
to be close to yours
to listen to what you have to say.


To release all of my cares
as I draw close and lean my head on your shoulder
with Your strong arm around me
I am reminded that I am safe,
I am cared for
and you are watching over me!


I rest against your heart
as I am determined
to walk your narrow path,
to delight myself
in doing all you want,
to meditate in your words.


To follow you more closely,
Oh, that I may stand among the godly
Do not let me blow away like chaff
before the wind
but may I stand firm in my belief
with roots deep in your love!
