Ready Set Grow

Background

Jesus calls us to grow. Throughout His ministry, he used agricultural images and metaphors to describe the ongoing process of spiritual growth, as well as the intended goal of bearing fruit. The Christian life is to be a continual pursuit of fruitful growth.

The chorus of this song describes growth in three dimensions. Growing closer to Christ (UP), growing closer to other followers of Christ (IN), and growing in service and outreach to the world (OUT)The verses point out the need for patience while God performs his work of growth in us, as well as our dependance on God for all the growth we desire.

This song was written by Bob Hauch as the theme song for the St. John’s Lutheran School for the 2008-2009 School Year.

For the recording, the song is sung by Amelia Arnold Laws, a graduate of St. John’s Lutheran School. For additional school theme songs, click here.
