Like A Tree (Psalm 1)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Blessed is the one who loves your word
Your ways are his delight
Knows that he needs it
Eat, sleeps and breathes it
Thinkin’ on it day and night

Verse 2:
But sad for the one who walks away
Sits down with all the scoffers with all the scoffers
Building his kingdom
Callin’ it freedom
Chasing after what the world offers

Chorus:
I want to be like a tree by the river!
Oh plant me down by the deep, deep water
When the sun gets hot my leaves won’t wither!
Oh plant me down like a tree by your/the river
Oh plant me down by your deep, deep water

Verse 3:
I want to be like a mighty oak
Roots growing strong and deep
When the wind blows
The roots gonna hold
Cause you’re holding on to me
Yeah you’re holding on to me

Chorus

Bridge (4x):
Plant me, plant me, plant me by the river
Wash me, wash me, wash me with your water

Chorus
