verse 1 

    Bb               Cm          Dm                Cm           
It takes a lot of growing for a tree to reach the sky 
    Bb              D#              F - F7 
It takes a lot of rain to help it grow 
    D#                F           Dm               Gm - Cm 
It takes a lot of running for a child to catch the wind 
                    Cm7 -  F              F7 
It takes a lot of walking    to learn to run. 

 
[Refrão]

          Bb         D#  -   Dm 
And I'm growing in Jesus 
                  D#            Dm           Gm 
Getting stronger each and every day in every way.  
         Cm - F                    Bb 
'Cause Jesus.        is growing in me. 

verse 2:(same as verse 1) 

Many times I've been discouraged, when the rain got in my way; 
I didn't know that it would help me grow; 
And every time I run ahead, I'd always miss the turn; 
And end up walking back way to what I'd learned.
