The However Trees by Steve Gracie © 2007 How many "however" trees Are growing in your heart? Do they grow just how they please? The vines hidden in the dark Lord I will answer the call, And give generously to the church However, I did not mean it all I only meant this much! Lord I'll give up my precious time To be guided by your hand However, Monday eight 'til nine Suits better with my plans Lord I want to read your Word To study night and day However, that's a big demand; I'll read in church on Sunday Lord I know that I should pray And wait upon your grace However, that just takes too long Can we perhaps move up the pace? Lord the Holy Spirit, Is the lifeblood flowing within However, I'll just squeeze the tap And leave a little tricklin' Lord I know there's work to do And I know you gave me gifts However they are mine so now I'll use them as I wish Lord what has happened to my fruit? Everything's gone rotten! However much I try to fight I feel I am forgotten Do not plant two kinds of seed On the same plot of land Everything will be defiled Both of the vine and your hand I am the true vine says the Son The gardener is my Father We will cut off every one Of the fruitless "however". |
