ROMANS – The Root and the Branches by Bro H

Verse 1 God has not cast away His own The people whom He foreknew Even now a remnant stands Proven faithful, tried and true In the days of Elijah’s cry When many turned and walked away Still a number held their ground Who would not bend, who chose to stay Chorus From the root the branches grow Life runs deeper than we know Across the sea, through every land Still upheld by His own hand Stand with care where you have grown You are not the root alone From the root the life still flows And the faithful branch will grow Verse 2 From the house of Judah’s sons Zarah’s line moved out in time Dardanus and sons of Troy Carried forth the royal line Through the fall and through the sea Aeneas led the western way Settled lands that rose to power Rome would rise from foundations laid that day Verse 3 If the branches were broken off And you stand where they once grew Do not boast against the root It’s the root that carries you Wild branches brought within Set back into the living tree Natural ones can also return Back into the olive tree Chorus From the root the branches grow Life runs deeper than we know Across the sea, through every land Still upheld by His own hand Stand with care where you have grown You are not the root alone From the root the life still flows And the faithful branch will grow Verse 4 Remember where the root was set Long before the present age Promises made to Abraham Still unfolding, still in place Law once written now placed within Testifies to who you are Walk it out and hold it fast Not forgetting where you’re from Bridge Blindness came in part for now Till the fullness comes, As it is written All Israel shall be saved As it’s always been From Zion comes the Deliverer Turning Jacob from his sin This covenant still stands Where it’s always been Final Chorus From the root the branches grow Through the ages, high and low What was scattered still remains Carried through the blood and name Mercy shown and truth made known Not a people overthrown From the root the life still flows And the faithful branch will grow
