Footsteps lead me to the woodlands
Close to home but far away
Here my heartbeat joins the choir
Of busy birds at the break of day

Timber falls as time intended
Pine trees rise cathedral spires
Spirit wind blows through the branches
Lifting hallelujahs high

Holy Spirit
Search my soul
I've been unraveled
Come make me whole
In you I will authentic be
Come and set me free

Autumn ushers winds of changing
Oak trees, maples leaves of fire
Spirit blow my shut heart open
Fill me with renewed desire

Spirit God I've been ignoring
Things that now must be explored
Take these knots caught in the tangle
Work them free as you've done before

Holy Spirit linger longer
There's still so much work to do
As you whisper words of freedom
Help me make more room for you

Soon I'll step out of the forest
Nothing's changed but something's new
Soul and Spirit in communion
I see things now from a different view

Come and set me free
