Like a tree planted by the waters

Blessed is the one who walks not in the way

Of the wicked, or where sinners stay

Doesn’t sit in the seat of the scornful crowd

But delights in the Word, and speaks it loud

Like a tree by the water, firmly planted deep

Bearing fruit in season, a soul the Lord will keep

Leaves won’t wither, they shine in the sun

Whatever they do, will surely be done

Oh Lord, I wanna be—

Like a tree by the water, planted in Thee

The wicked are like chaff, blown by the wind

They won’t stand in the judgment for their sin

For the Lord knows the path of the righteous ones

But the way of the wicked will be undone

Day and night, I’ll meditate

On Your law, so true and great

You are my guide, my firm delight

In Your Word, I find my light

Like a tree by the water, firmly planted deep

Bearing fruit in season, a soul the Lord will keep

Leaves won’t wither, they shine in the sun

Whatever they do, will surely be done

Oh Lord, I wanna be—

Like a tree by the water, planted in Thee
