Lyrics

Verse 1

Blessed is the one who has planted his ways

not in the counsel of scorners and strays,

but delights in the law of the Lord and His word,

and murmurs it softly wherever it's heard.

Chorus

Like a tree by the water I will grow,

roots reaching deep where the still rivers flow;

my leaf will not wither, my season will come —

by the waters of meditation I am home.

Verse 2

Day into night I will ponder His voice,

the law of His kindness, the way and the choice;

the chaff will be scattered, the wind blows it far,

but the ones who are rooted are just where they are.

Verse 3

In the hush before dawn I will treasure His word,

turning over each promise my spirit has heard;

like the roots drinking deep where the quiet springs run,

I am fed in the secret, unseen by the sun.

Bridge

Deep in the current where the living streams move,

my soul finds its stillness, its refuge, its love.

Chorus

Like a tree by the water I will grow,

roots reaching deep where the still rivers flow;

my leaf will not wither, my season will come —

by the waters of meditation I am home.
