verse 1 It takes a lot of growing for a tree to reach the sky It takes a lot of rain to help it grow It takes a lot of running for a child to catch the wind It takes a lot of walking to learn to run. And I'm growing in Jesus Getting stronger each and every day in every way. 'Cause Jesus. is growing in me. verse 2:(same as verse 1) Many times I've been discouraged, when the rain got in my way; I didn't know that it would help me grow; And every time I run ahead, I'd always miss the turn; And end up walking back way to what I'd learned. Repeat Chorus 2 times
