GROWING

OH LORD, IF I COULD ONLY BE
WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
TO SEE THROUGH YOUR EYES INSTEAD OF MINE
TO HEAR THROUGH MY HEART INSTEAD OF MY EARS
HOW I LONG TO FEEL THE WORLD THE WAY YOU DO
 HOW YOU LOVE SO REAL AND FULL
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME
FOR I'M GROWING ALL SO SLOWLY

I DO SEE NEW LITTLE BUDS OF GROWTH  NOW AND THEN

TO SPRING NEW JOY OF LIFE WITHIN
MY HOPE IS REFRESHED AGAIN AND AGAIN
AS I THINK OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME

LORD, AS I GROW

TEACH ME TO KNOW
TO TAKES A SEED
A LONG LONG TIME TO BE A TREE
WATER ME WITH LIFE
SHINE YOUR LOVE ON ME
AS I FEED FROM YOUR WORD EACH DAY
FULL OF YOUR SPIRIT I WILL BE
