The River is flowing strong
this Water of life keeps flowing on
The oak trees grow up into the sun (Son)
roots drinking from the River as it runs
And they grow tall
Oak trees of righteousness display Your love and kindness
Oh, root us deep in Your flowing love
Grow us into these oaks of righteousness
Oh, plant me down by the waterside
This winter has left me bare and dry
Your river will give me what I need
to bear my fruit as season turns to spring
And I will thrive in You
Oak trees of righteousness display Your love and kindness
Oh, root us deep in Your flowing love
Grow us into these oaks of righteousness
[Oh, You plant us down by the stream. No, there ain't one single thing... nothing could take us out now. Stretching these roots out. We're growing strong and tall. I'm growing strong and you're growing strong and tall, like these big old oak trees. Nothing could take us out.]
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
