In My Tree

In my tree, I would daydream
ALL DAY LONG
I would climb a branch, pick a leaf
And sing a song

A song of words with no rhyme or reason
By chance it might be about that leaf
Or the changing of season

I would peek through the top of the tree
And see
A flock of white clouds float by
Then I would sigh...
... God maybe You're in those clouds
up there
or somewhere in the air
I just want to say to You
What You created is beautiful

Then there was silence... nothing
From Him, was I missing something?

So I went to church with a friend
Wore just the right shoes, dress, and headband
I said the right words, gave a sweet smile
But I wanted to know this God all the while
After pretending and playing dress-up
I finally gave up

I surrendered

I found God as real as could be
In my brokeness down on my knees
I realized the price that His son Jesus paid
My sins on His cross so there could be a way

A way to be forever with Him
Jesus said, "I am The Way"
So with a change of heart, I entered in
To a covenant of love with my God and my King

Now I can sit in my tree and sing
With a purpose, knowing what He did for me
He's not only in those clouds, in this tree
He's alive and living in me!

Now in my tree, I daydream
About how awesome my Creator is
He is mine
And I am His
ALL ETERNITY LONG.
