Roots of the Good Lord’s Land (Traditional Gospel Choir)

Roots of the Good Lord’s Land (Traditional Gospel Choir)

Down by the Good Lord’s river, where the old hymns rise,
I hear my people singing softly ‘neath the Southern skies.
Their voices guide my footsteps,
like a steady, gentle hand—
Saying: “Child, your strength is rooted
in the ways that shaped this land.”

I wandered far and wide,
chasing things that fade like sand—
Till I learned a soul needs roots
if it hopes one day to stand.

Lead: Hold me steady, Lord—
Choir: Tradition keeps me strong!
Lead: Let culture be my shelter—
Choir: The place where I belong!
Lead: Root me in the stories—
Choir: The ones that shape my soul!
Lead + Choir:
Only a heart that’s grounded
walks steady on the long, long road.

I think of all the elders,
the wisdom that they shared,
How every tale and teaching
kept us safe and kept us spared.
Now every song they handed down
returns like morning light—
It lifts me when I stumble
and it holds me through the night.

Storm winds shake the branches,
but the old tree still believes—
For the strength is in the roots,
and the hope is in the leaves.

Lead: Where do we come from?
Choir: From the ones before our time.
Lead: Where do we stand now?
Choir: Where their voices still align.
Lead: Where are we going?
Choir: To the place where hope is warm.
Lead + Choir:
Tradition is the lantern—
and it guides us through the storm.

Lead: Hold me steady, Lord—
Choir: Tradition keeps me strong!
Lead: Let the old ways be my anchor—
Choir: The rhythm I belong!
Lead: Root me in the wisdom—
Choir: Let culture fill my soul!
Lead + Choir:
A rooted heart stands firm in storms—
and the old ways make it whole.

Mmmh…
Let my roots grow deep, Lord…
Deep in the good earth’s land…
Where a wandering soul finds home.
