Lyrics
1. As the wisdom of this world
Shades the light and clouds my way,
Plant my heart in the beams of the Son.
As the folly of this age
Here eclipses every truth,
Plant my heart in the beams of the Son.
Root my soul deep in the soil of Christ,
Build my life upon his death;
Raise me up with him; new life by faith,
Plant my heart in the beams of the Son.
2. As the tempests of this life
Hurl my soul toward darkened night,
Plant my heart in the beams of the Son.
As the thorns of grief and pain
Choke my joy and block the light,
Plant my heart in the beams of the Son.
Plant us, plant us deep inside his fertile tomb;
Wash us, wash us with the water and the Word.
Feed us, feed us with the body and the blood.
Raise us, raise us in the light of Jesus Christ.
3. Now established by your grace,
Like a city on a hill,
May my life bear the beams of the Son.
Holy Spirit, run the race,
Cause your fruit to flower still,
May my life bear the beams of the Son.
