Rooted In Him

It's good to grow roots in the soil of the Word.
For there are our health and welfare assured.
These are the roots which cause us to stand
Against storm and flood when life makes demand.

God gives us nourishment from which to draw.
No matter the "tide", we rise up in awe.
His roots go deep and cannot be jarred.
His wisdom and strength become a sure guard.

Those who aren't "planted" or may be uprooted
Can grow roots in Him and then be sure-footed.
Endurance and power in His Word are stored.
Tap roots of strength are found in the Lord.

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
Colossians 2:6-7 KJV
