For Your Splendor

I'm so concerned with what I look like from the outside

Will I blossom into what You hope I'll be

Yet You're so patient just to help me see

The blooms come from a deeper seed that You planted in me

Sometimes it's hard to grow when everybody's watching

To have your heart pruned by the one who knows best

And though I'm bare and cold I know my season's coming

And I'll spring up in Your endless faithfulness

With my roots deep in You I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit

And though I'm small, I'll still be standing in the storm

'Cause I am planted by the river by Your streams of living water

And I'll grow up strong and beautiful, all for Your splendor, Lord

So with my arms stretched out, I'm swaying to Your heartbeat

I'm growing with the sound of Your voice calling

You're bringing out the beauty that You have put in me

For Your joy and for Your glory falling
