One Lowly Branch

I bend and bow, Father,
my branch next to Thee.
How happy I am
to be growing on Your tree.

The trials of this world,
they help me to grow,
and teaches life lessons
You want me to know.

Many things that happen,
I don't understand.
But someday I'll know,
Your Grand Master Plan.

Left me up, Lord,
when I am weary and weak.
Strengthen me daily,
and let me close to You keep.
