Roots

Observe the seed in the plastic cup
   how the roots go down and the plant goes up.
That's how a life in God should be
   with spiritual roots growing strong and deep.
The plant that goes up a witness for Christ
   living a good and a fruitful life.
A life that is pleasing in the Savior's sight 
   and a life that shines with the Lord's own Light.
