Roots

 How deep are your roots in God?
Are your roots deep enough to stand?  
Or will you be uprooted in the wind?  
Grow deep, my friend.

How deep are your roots in His love? 
    Will you bend and break in the mighty storms that come?
    Or will you stand strong in His unchanging hand?  
Grow deep, deeper still.

How deep are your roots in His Word?  
Will you be knocked over when strange doctrine comes?  
Or will you stand on the One that understands?  
Keep growing, growing strong.

How deep are your roots in God?  
With shallow roots you will fail,  
But in deep roots there is hope, there is true peace,  

“Grow deeper yet I pray, and higher every day”
