[Spoken Intro] Some growth only happens where no one sees Roots don't fear the storm because they know where the water is The branch that learns to yield is the branch that still remains The deepest strength is grown beneath the surface [Verse 1] When the winds begin to shake my frame I remember where my life remains I abide in You and You in me Living Water flowing endlessly Every season prunes away my pride Making room for life that grows inside Hidden roots beneath the ground Finding grace where hope is found Though my branches may hang low You are teaching me to grow Closer than my eyes can see Your Spirit keeps sustaining me [Pre-Chorus] When the rain falls I reach deeper When the pressure comes I hold tighter Every hidden season Is preparing me [Chorus] Like a weeping willow by the river My roots grow deeper every season I bend but I don't break I yield but I don't fade Living Water keeps me growing Even while the storms are blowing Broken branches bloom again Grace restores me from within Like a weeping willow by the river Hope keeps calling even louder I bend but I don't break I yield because of faith [Hook] Rooted by the river Trusting through the drought Leaves are full of promise Living Water rising now Rooted by the river Fruit in every season Hope is my foundation Heaven is my reason [Verse 2] Every scar became another ring Every winter taught my soul to sing Strength was never standing tall Strength was answering Your call I have learned to bow in peace That's the place where burdens cease Every tear became a stream Greater than it first had seemed Deep below where none can see You were building strength in me Storms became a sacred place Where I learned to trust Your grace [Bridge] Beauty rising from the ashes Joy replacing every sorrow Praise is clothing every wound Hope is writing my tomorrow What was broken now restored What was barren lives once more Every season has a purpose Every promise still endures [Chant] Yield Stand Yield Grow Yield Trust Roots run deep Roots run deep Yield Stand Yield Grow Living Water Overflow Roots run deep Roots run deep [Verse 3] Pressure formed what comfort couldn't Hope was growing underground Every trial built endurance Faith became a deeper sound Character was slowly forming One surrender at a time Now I know the storm was never Greater than this life of mine Love has filled my heart completely By Your Spirit living in me Now my roots reach even deeper Every season brings Your victory [Final Chorus] Like a weeping willow by the river My roots grow deeper every season I bend but I don't break I yield but I don't fade Living Water keeps me growing Even while the storms are blowing Broken branches bloom again Grace restores me from within Like a weeping willow by the river Still becoming who You've called me I bend but I don't break I yield and Heaven shapes Deepest roots are growing here Perfect love has cast out fear [Outro] The willow doesn't fear the wind It knows where its roots belong So I will yield And I will grow Rooted in Living Water Forever
