Oak of Righteousness

Bread of heaven feed me

Oh Good Shepherd lead me

On this rocky road to holiness.

Spirit of God show me

What it takes to grow me

Into a mighty oak of righteousness.

Draw my roots into your holy ground

There where glory may be found

Or graft me into the living vine

I would dwell deep in the divine.

Angel armies lend me

A true map that will send me

Into the clefts of Yahweh’s holy hill

There where glory dwells

And Christ His story tells

And draws me to the center of His will

Draw my roots into your holy ground

There where glory may be found

Or graft me into the living vine

I would dwell deep in the divine.

So plant me as an lone acorn  

With Spirit waters there reborn

What myst’ries await-I can only guess

As new life breaks into the light

Lord, raise me up to holy heights

Till I become an oak of righteousness

I would become an oak of righteousness

I will become an oak of righteousness
