Deep in the Darkness of the Soil
Deep in the darkness of the soil,
Roots hold on,
Keep trees strong,
so they don‘t fall over
in a wind or storm;
Roots in the soil hold on.
Deep in the darkness of the soil,
Water flows,
Up it goes,
through the roots and branches
and the twigs and leaves;
Water in the soil makes these.
Deep in the darkness of the soil,
Creatures crawl,
Big and small,
digging holes and burrows
'til a home is made;
Creatures never need a spade.
Outside the darkness of the soil,
God we praise,
For all he‘s made,
in the world around us
and the ground below;
Soil helps creation grow!
