The Patch In Which You’re Planted May Have Its Thorns And Weeds,
The Ground That You’ve Been Granted May Have Its Rocks And Reeds;
The Slope On Which You’re Slanted May All Have Gone To Seed,
But Bloom Where You’re Planted For The Lord.

Bloom Where You’re Planted, God’s Sun Still Shines Above,
Bloom Where You’re Planted, He Showers You With Love,
Weeds May Grow And Winds May Blow, But Keep Your Head Up High
And Bloom Where You’re Planted, Keep Growing Toward The Sky.

The Place Where God Has Put You Can Be The Perfect Place,
The Pace That He’s Intended Is Just The Perfect Pace,
The Grace That He Will Give You Is All-Sufficient Grace,
So Bloom Where You’re Planted For The Lord.

If You Are Not Now Planted Where God Can Smile On You,
If You Have Not Been Granted A Life That’s Fresh And New,
Then You Can Be Transplanted As Only Christ Can Do,
So Bloom Where You’re Planted For The Lord.

Now Put Your Root Down Deeper Into God’s Book Divine,
Your Leaves Will Be Much Greener, Your Flowers Fragrance Fine,
Your Fruit Will Ripen Richer For Heaven’s Harvest Time,
So Bloom Where You’re Planted For The Lord.
