BLOOM
Laura Sandage 2004
Do flowers weep to feel their petals spread?
Do trees tremble losing leaves?
Does the earth fight against the lion‘s tread?
Would a spider boast of the web she weaves?
(chorus)
Lord, let me bloom like the poppies
And scatter the hillside with seed
Let wild winds toss and sun shine down
Let the world make good use of me
Is pouring forth my heart supposed to hurt this much?
Each love aches as it is freed
The hills never shy away from heaven’s touch
I want to take my place, unafraid to bleed
chorus
Wash me, Lord, in your summer rain
Roots underground will keep me warm
Fill me, Lord, with love and with pain
I will learn to sway with the storm
chorus
