My Family Tree (Moffit)
Music for Children, Submitted Music (1992-1997)
Ancestors past connected to me.
They are a part of my family tree.
I’ll search and pray so I’ll understand
Just where I fit in our father’s plan.
Loved ones gone by who traveled so far.
Fathers and Mothers who came ‘cross the sea
They’re all a part of one great circle
Part of the branch that connects to my family tree.
Long, long ago and far ‘cross the sea
Started the roots of my family tree.
Strong men and women hearing God’s call
Travelled by faith as they gave their all.
Many would die while making the journey.
Hoping and praying for things yet to be.
Keeping their faith, completing our circle
Adding their strength to each branch of our family tree.
One day in God’s temple on bended knee
I’ll start my branch of our family tree
I’ll teach my children of their great past
Connecting our lives from the first to last
Reading in journals telling old stories
Sharing those mem’ries so previous to me.
We’re all a part of one great circle
Part of the branch that connects to my family tree.
