[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
