This life is so very strange to me It's a vapor all is vanity But I'm entangled in the earth Implanted in this cursed land That I've come to love too much Only sojourners we will not stay In this world so green, bound to decay Oh, why do I hold so dear To this fading garden of tears? Oh God, life is not found here Oh God, life is not found here Uproot me from the ground Shake me from the earth That's wrapped my heart in thorns Sow me in your word Until my heart's transformed And I'll be brought to life, be brought to life Death is the seed of life Death is the seed of life You are life Oh, you are life Jesus you are life Jesus you are life Uproot me from the ground! Shake me from the earth That's wrapped my heart in thorns God, free me of these thorns! Sow me in your word Until my heart's transformed And I'll be brought to life, be brought to life Ooh, and I'll be brought to life, to life Because Death is the seed Death is the seed Death is the seed of life
