Branches

They fall from the tree

Then show what’s meant to be

They reveal all our days

God’s loving ways

What we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

They remove our fear

Show God is always near

They reveal what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

They reveal what we know

How faith helped us grow

All the steps we’ll take

All the memories we’ll make

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

God’s encouraging word

Which we’ve always heard

They’re part of every journey

Meant for us only

They fill every soul

Then make life whole

They show unwavering principles

God’s incredible miracles

They are the key

To what’s meant to be

They show God’s affection

As well as protection

They reveal our name

How we let go of shame

They keep us close

Cause we matter most

They teach us to stand

As we hold God’s hand

They offer us solid ground

They show the joy we found

They make us smile

Even laugh a little while

They show a sign

That everything is fine

They reveal God’s power

Hour after hour

As we keep going

All while knowing

Life contains branches
