There was hard ground all around
Nowhere to plant a new life
Lord knows I tried, but it died
Shallow roots don't survive
But it was different with you
We took hold right away and grew
With the sun shining down
We shot up on solid ground
He planted the seed, we tended it well
We created a bond, one that's eternal
God gave us a start
And now you own my heart
So let the wind blow, cause we know
This love won't come to harm
We've grown strong after so long
Where you are it's always warm
When I remember the time
Before I could call you mine
Then I thank God for the seed
That turned into you and me
He planted the seed, we tended it well
We created a bond, one that's eternal
God gave us a start
And now you own my heart
Our love's not a flower
It's an evergreen
And it's like no other
That's ever been seen
We'll keep it growing
Way up high
Like branches that spread
And reach for the sky yeah
He planted the seed, we tended it well
We created a bond, one that's eternal
God gave us a start
And now you own my heart
He planted the seed, we tended it well
We created a bond, one that's eternal
God gave us a start
And now you own my heart
