[Verse 1] A wandering heart can lose its way, And turn from God to flesh. We trust the strength that we can see, And call our striving blessed. We build our hopes on shifting ground, On wealth and plans we make; But all the strength that man can give Will wither in the heat. [Pre-Chorus] When the drought comes, When the heat is strong, What will hold me? Where do my roots belong? [Chorus] Rooted by the water, Planted in the Lord, Though the drought may come, I will trust His Word. I will not be shaken, I will not fear the flame; My roots are in the living God, And I will bear fruit in His name. [Verse 2] The market rises, the market falls, Our treasures come and go. We chase the numbers on the screen, And watch the figures grow. We trust our plans, our strategies, Our wisdom and our gain; But none of these can give the soul The peace that shall remain. [Pre-Chorus] When the drought comes, When the heat is strong, What will hold me? Where do my roots belong? [Chorus] Rooted by the water, Planted in the Lord, Though the drought may come, I will trust His Word. I will not be shaken, I will not fear the flame; My roots are in the living God, And I will bear fruit in His name. [Bridge – Quiet] Search my heart, O God, Show me where I stand. Is my hope in what I hold, Or in Your sovereign hand? If tomorrow all should fall, If my treasures disappear, Christ, You are my confidence; You alone are near. [Bridge – Build] You are my water! You are my life! You are my refuge When the drought is dry! You are my treasure! You are my song! When the world is shaking, In You I will stand strong! [Final Chorus] Rooted by the water, Planted in the Lord, Though the drought may come, I will trust His Word. I will not be shaken, I will not fear the flame; My roots are in the living God, And I will bear fruit in His name. [Final Tag – Congregational] Where are my roots? They are in the Lord! Where is my hope? In Christ alone! Where are my roots? They are in the Lord! By living water, I will bear fruit! [Outro – Soft] When the drought comes, I will trust in You. When the heat burns, Your grace will see me through. Rooted by the water, Planted in the Lord.
