[00:01.12] Andrew Peterson - Planting Trees
[00:05.89]
[00:15.59] We chose the spot, we dug the hole
[00:23.37] We laid the maples in the ground to have and hold
[00:30.96] As Autumn falls to Winters sleep
[00:38.70] We pray that somehow in the Spring
[00:42.57] The roots grow deep
[00:44.65]
[00:46.34] And many years from now
[00:50.18] Long after we are gone
[00:54.14] These trees will spread their branches out
[00:57.07] And bless the dawn
[00:59.47]
[01:09.39] He took a plane to Africa
[01:16.96] He gathered up into his arms
[01:20.84] An orphan son
[01:23.28]
[01:24.36] So many years from now
[01:28.40] Long after we are gone
[01:32.26] This tree will spread its branches out
[01:35.31] And bless the dawn
[01:37.77]
[01:39.72] So sit down and write that letter
[01:43.85] Sign up and join the fight
[01:47.71] Sink in to all that matters
[01:51.57] Step out into the light
[01:55.58] Let go of all that's passing
[01:59.82] Lift up the least of these
[02:03.63] Lean into something lasting
[02:07.20] Planting trees
[02:10.27]
[02:19.06] She rises up as morning breaks
[02:26.41] She moves among these rooms alone
[02:30.27] Before we wake
[02:33.89] And her heart is so full; it overflows
[02:41.77] She waters us with love and the children grow
[02:49.62]
[02:50.09] So many years from now
[02:53.67] Long after we are gone
[02:57.62] These trees will spread their branches out
[03:00.71] And bless the dawn
[03:05.28] These trees will spread their branches out
[03:08.15] And bless someone
[03:14.49]
