lyrics:
1. Apostle Paul so long ago
Bent down his knees to pray
For the saints in the community
And you & me today, may you be
Rooted & grounded in love
Strengthened in the Spirit thru faith
To know the height & depth & length & breadth
Of God's understanding and grace
2. He said we're all one body
Though each has different gifts
Given for the common good
Together we are lifted up & Rooted...
3. Let all you do be done in love
And open your heart wide
If you live by the Spirit
Let the Spirit be your guide & keep you Rooted...
4. If you are feeling anger
Don't let that sun go down
You won't be tested past your strength
There's always a way out when you are Rooted…
5. So when you feel like worrying
Turn everything to prayer
And God will search your heart & soul
And hope will find you there, you will be Rooted...
