[Performed by Brandon Heath]
2
I am not my family tree
3
These are different leaves, you know
4
There are miles and miles between
5
My roots and what I'm trying to grow
6
I am not the slave they sold
7
Nor am I royalty
8
I've worn them both, the finest coat
9
And rags that barely cover me
10
But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
11
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
12
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
13
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
14
But Love said, it will only bend; it will only bend.
15
I am not my past mistakes
16
Labelled by some place and time
17
Nor am I a trophy case
18
Trying to maintain my shine
19
I have dreamed a thousand dreams
20
Watched a grain in famine, grow
21
I am not my family tree
22
I have branches of my own
23
But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
24
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
25
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
26
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
27
But Love said, it will only bend
28
Oh, does fate resign us to
29
Find shelter for our wounds
30
Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams?
31
Oh, but I will choose to stand
32
In the shadow of Your hand
33
And see what grows when Grace has sown the seed
34
These are different leaves, you know
35
But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
36
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
37
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
38
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
39
But Love said, it will only bend; it will only bend.
40
It will only bend, ooh-oh
41
It will only bend.
