Rooted in Christ

Like trees so deeply rooted
That though life’s storms may blow
They stand through all securely,
We must take root to grow.

We must abide in Jesus
Through fellowship and prayer
So we can know the blessings
He daily wants to share.

We must be well established
On Jesus day by day –
His strength and truth our anchor,
His Word our hope and stay.

We must find satisfaction
In Jesus Christ alone –
Delighting in His presence
And all the love He’s shown.

Then storms of life can shake us
But we will stand secure,
For when we’re firmly rooted
In Christ we will endure.
