lyrics: 

1. Apostle Paul so long ago 
Bent down his knees to pray
For the saints in the community 
And you & me today, may you be

Rooted & grounded in love
Strengthened in the Spirit thru faith
To know the height & depth & length & breadth
Of God's understanding and grace

2. He said we're all one body
Though each has different gifts
Given for the common good
Together we are lifted up & Rooted...

3. Let all you do be done in love
And open your heart wide
If you live by the Spirit
Let the Spirit be your guide & keep you Rooted...

4. If you are feeling anger
Don't let that sun go down
You won't be tested past your strength
There's always a way out when you are Rooted…

5. So when you feel like worrying 
Turn everything to prayer
And God will search your heart & soul 
And hope will find you there, you will be Rooted...
