Supported by the roots – v2

though some branches cut off
dead, withered,
into the fire
new branches grafted in
all in the one tree
the living people of God

Supported by the roots
the people of old
the faithfulness of the tribes
the wayward children
chosen by God

all one tree, one body
all from the same roots,
living together
held in God’s arms
supported by the roots
the living people of God
