Deeper Roots

With frustrations, hurts, impatience charging at full speed, it makes me only think of how I have to grow my roots more deeper. If I am rooted and grounded in love, the stormy winds and rough rains can't uproot me. So here I just penned it down in my journal.

DEEPER ROOTS

Let me go deeper,

deep waters to dive in

At the surface level

I am thrown away

by every slight wind

Deeper roots, 

is what I seek

Let me be firm in You.

With wars being waged,

against my soul,

Help me, Lord

to find refuge,

to hold on to You,

to grow my roots,

deeper still,

so I may withstand,

heat and wind.

My leaves won't wither

with slightest rudeness,

when weather is not in favour.

I'll dig deeper,

seeking refuge and solace,

hidden within.

Roots which have

found water and food

when there is famine

those help me grow

rely on you

and on your Word

When our patience runs dry

Be our love

When sorrow seems high

Be our joy

When irritation hits hard

Be our stronghold

Be ours

Let us be Yours

make us one

like Father and You

make us one.

Let me be rooted in You

Deeper still

I may grow

deep roots 

stronger still.
