See the trees / Reaching higher / They have one direction / Reaching for the Father / And they will not be distracted / No they will not be distracted / No they will not be distracted by this world
See the flames / Stretching higher / They have one direction / Reaching for the Father / And they will not be distracted / No they will not be distracted / No they will not be distracted by this world
Lord take me / Take me higher / Give me one direction / Reaching for the Father / And I will not be distracted / no I will not be distracted / no I will not be distracted / by this world

I first heard this song yesterday while worshiping here. Great place to visit if you're in the Dahlgren/Quantico area. Check out their Gleaning Field ministry page, great thoughts by worship leader Julia at their blog...
We can often take our cues from the natural world, I think; God gives us parallels for our own lives if we examine creation. John 15 talks about how God “prunes” us; when we are “in the dust of death” (Ps 22) he breaks up our soil, and our “roots grow down into him” so that our faith grows and we overflow, unable to contain our thanks (Col 2).
...and Pastor Greg's recent sermon on Planet Earth.
OK, since you asked us to vote :-P I vote this post as #1 of all your posts. It is beautifully consistent with God and His Creation - all 6 days of it. Thank you!
