Under That Tree

Os Arrais


We landed without knowing
The blessings that You had reserved for us
We had our expectations
But they were superseded by Your plans
We witnessed how you multiplied
The gifts we brought with us as we arrived

We woke up early morning
The rooster crowed and we knew it was time
Despite how tired we were
You gave us strength to make it through the day
Your power was perfected in
The limitations we all shared within
Although much barriers we faced
You helped us overcome each one of them

We are called to proclaim Jesus' love
And the hope overflowing in us
We've been taking from darkness to light
Not to be and end in itself
But to spread the Word of Christ

We listened to their stories
And empathized with every word they said
But even without knowing
They taught us lessons that we won't forget

How their restrictions actually freed them
From distractions that this life can bring
Cause all the spare time they had left
They use ir to reach out and save a man

We are called to proclaim Jesus' love
And the hope overflowing in us
We've been taking from darkness to light
Not to be and end in itself
But to spread the Word
Not to be and end in itself
But to spread the Word
Not to be and end in itself
But to spread the Word  of Christ

We took off reminiscing
The stories that would make us laugh and cry
While looking out the window
It seem that we had left our heart behind
But we remembered what they said
"If not in this life, so then in heaven"
"If we don't see each other here
We'll have a meeting place under that tree"
"If we don't see each other here
We'll have our meeting place under that tree"
