Greenwood

You make the broken beautiful

You make the ruined whole

You take the empty and make them full

And the chaos, with a Word, control.

Greenwood of my soul

Greentree to my sight

Speak life unto the barren

Shine your light into the night.

You make the deaf to hear your Word

You make the blind to see

You make the dead alive in Christ

And set the captives free.

The orphan and the outcast

You adopt them as your own

So those who sit in darkness

On them your Light has shown

Oh, Greenwood of my soul

Oh, Greentree, make me right

Lest I shall be put to shame

Shine your light into the night.
