Bend (JOSEPH) |
| I am not my family tree |
| These are different leaves, you know |
| There are miles and miles between |
| My roots and what I’m trying to grow |
| I am not the slave they sold |
| Nor am I royalty |
| I’ve worn them both, the finest coat |
| And rags that barely cover me |
| But there’s mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun |
| Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone |
| And what was meant to harm can’t harm you in the end |
| Stepped out on a limb I thought might break |
| But Love said, it will only bend; |
| It will only bend |
| I am not my past mistakes |
| Labelled by some place and time |
| Nor am I trophy case |
| Trying to maintain my shine |
| I have dreamed a thousand dreams |
| Watched a grain in famine, grow |
| I am not my family tree |
| I have branches of my own |
| Oh, does fate resign us to |
| Find shelter for our wounds |
| Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams? |
| Oh, but I will choose to stand |
| In the shadow of Your hand |
| And see what grows when Grace has sown the seed |
