Sprouting Forth Every Branch

There we are fully hemmed in
in our tree like lives in bark
penned down by our circumstances
feeling helpless and somewhat stark

But got to raise up that inner strength
push our hands through the inner core
like the tree like branches sprouting out
find your resource at your own door

Follow your inner felt convictions
giving strength to circumstances beat
overcome them by God's mighty arm
holding you strong never to defeat

So go on victorious branches to view
hold them up high for everyone to see
full aloft like God's sovereign mighty arm
ensure fullness over circumstantial tree

strikingly opens the first stanza leading us from branch to leaves and then beyond ... where ... toward the sky?
