I know You are the Tree of Life
That, I can clearly see
And out there on that frightful limb
Is where You’ve beckoned me
~~~
You’re calling me to come again
To that old place where I have been
How can you ask me Lord to go?
Back to prison-place, I hated so
~~~
You’re asking me to trust You;
Didn’t I do that once before?
I asked You for a miracle
Instead You closed all doors
~~~
Yet something deep within me knows
No safer place can be
Than out there on that dreaded branch
To cling, and wait for Thee
~~~
So here I am—please take my fears
Give new heart brave and bold;
Away old doubts—bring me out!
So I can soar, when wings unfold…
~~~
I’ll pay the price so I can fly
Up to that moon of gold
With love from You—and dreams anew
Bringing hope to young and old!
