(Mighty Oak of Faith)
They say that mighty oaks grow from an acorn small
The tiny seed becomes majestic, big and tall.
If God can make changes from a little seed,
Just think what he can do in you and me
Lord, take this acorn of my heart
And make it grow to be a mighty faith in thee
I ask you to begin from this small start
Make a mighty oak of faith grow up in me.
When I
didn’t know the Lord at all
He had a
plan to save me from the fall
Then He
planted in my heart an acorn seed
Wanting all
along to grow a tree.
If your faith is like an acorn lying on the ground
Let God rain love and mercy, let his grace abound.
If you would like a faith that’s like a strong oak tree
Just say this simple prayer right now with me.
Lord, take this acorn of my heart
And make it grow to be a mighty faith in thee
I ask you to begin from this small start
Make a mighty oak of faith grow up in me.
(August 1994)
