I see the little girl
A sweet memory
God gave her Jesus
Playing, full of joy
Running through corn fields
Singing, laughing, flourishing
Forever green
There she is, a young woman
God gave her a heart of caring
Her roots were planted
By streams of water
Flourishing and strong in Jesus
Forever green
I see that young woman
Trusting and loving
Living life in this world
That God has made
Flourishing in relationships
Forever green
Something has happened
She is confused…afraid
A man has changed her
Betrayed her trust…
Taken her joy…but
God kept her…forever green
Here I am with…
Old age creeping in
Many years have passed
God has redeemed my fear
My branches may be stiff…but
With roots planted deep
God keeps my heart…forever green
