Seeds

In the silence of the soil In the quiet of the ground beneath Where there are no signs of growth You've promised there is life unseen Can't rely on sight for proof Won't doubt it though my hands can't touch Winter's sleep gives strength to spring All I can do is wait and trust That nothing is wasted, not with my God You're making gardens out of graveyards I bring all my hopes and all of these 'Not how I wanted it to be's All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been My wants that I thought were my needs Come to bury these dying seeds And then I'll watch You turn them Turn them into trees Asked You for the reasons why And now the question still remains Seems that You prefer to leave My disappointments unexplained So that I would turn my face So that I'd finally lift my eyes From the shadows all around Up to the glory of the skies 'Cause nothing is wasted, not with my God You're making gardens out of graveyards I bring all my hopes and all of these 'Not how I wanted it to be's All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been My wants that I thought were my needs Come to bury these dying seeds And then I'll watch You turn them Turn them into trees I might not get to see it happening with my own eyes I might not see that tree grow up in my lifetime On things unseen I'll build my life I'll live by faith and not by sight So it's alright, yes it's alright To bring all my hopes and all of these 'Not how I wanted it to be's All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been My wants that I thought were my needs Come to bury these dying seeds And then I'll watch You turn them I'm gonna watch You turn them Oh I just know You'll turn them Turn them into trees
