Lyrics:

Beneath the Soil
Tune: WINCHESTER OLD 8.6.8.6
Text: Anna Strickland, 2024
Music: George Kirbye (1592)

Beneath the soil in the dark
There’s growth too slow to see
A transformation not displayed
In branches, fruit, and leaves

Remember when the world demands
More than you can produce
We each grow at a different pace
And growth starts in the roots

The rest and nurture we receive
Will turn to fruit in time
For God made us to grow and change
As toward the sky we climb

In every season of our lives
The Spirit is at work
To nurture us to bear good fruit
While rooted in the earth
