It takes a lot of growin'
for a tree to reach the sky
It takes a lot of rain
to help it grow
It takes a lot of runnin'
for a child to catch the wind
It takes a lot of walkin' to learn to run

And I'm growing in Jesus getting
Stronger each and everyday in everyway
'Cause Jesus is growing in me

Many times I feel discouraged
when the rain gets in my way
I didn't know that it would help me grow
And everytime I run ahead
I'd always miss the turn
And end up walkin' back with
what I'd learned
