I was sitting looking out my window

My eyes were drawn to a tree

As I looked, there was a leaf

That was blowing in the wind.

Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me

See how that leaf blows in the wind

It is being tossed around but still it remains

Fastened to the tree. 

Why does it remain,

it is due to the tree giving it nourishment.

You are like the leaf being blown around with life

The tree is your connection to me.

When times are difficult and life is hard

Hold closer onto me.

I will sustain you throughout the storm of life.

I am your nourishment and support. 

As long as you hold on. 

If you let go, you will crumple and die.

So hold fast to the tree of God
