Lord, take this wanting from me
Drown out the noises in my head
The shouting righteous
Religious theater
The spectacle of the saved
Speak to me here, in nature
Where I can breathe Your air
Let me know You by Your creations
Come to me here
There was a storm when I was young
A storm that woke me from a dream
A roar of thunder shook my bed
Lightning jolted through me
Rain drowned me in shame
The next day nothing was the same
I couldn't stop the howling wind
Even when it was calm again
And dry and warm
The chill remained
No one seemed to see
The evidence of catastrophe
But in the woods, the ground beneath my feet
Was thick with debris
Branches stripped of leaves
But overhead, tall stood the trees
Strong and straight and bare
How do you weather such a storm
Battered by wind and rain
And still stand tall day after day
Beaten, but still the same?
We sway, we sway, our roots run deep
We draw our strength from underneath
We bend, we don't break, we sway
There once was a storm when I was young
A storm that woke me from a dream
A roar of thunder shook my bed
Lightning jolted through me
My innocence lost in the rain
But still I grow, still I remain
Day after day, changed, but still the same
I sway, I sway, my roots run deep
I draw my strength from underneath
I bend, I don't break, I sway
We sway, we sway, our roots run deep
We draw our strength from underneath
We bend, we don't break, we sway
