Like A Tree Graham Kendrick and Steph Macleod from Salvations Songs

#psalm1 #worship

Inspired by words from Psalm 1, Like A Tree was co-written with worship leaders and worship songwriters Steph Macleod and Noel Robinson.

This collaboration digs into biblical texts and interweaves a folk-like melody, creating a gentle anthem that evokes strength, resilience, and steadfast faith. The lyrics help create a bridge between the ancient, poetic wisdom of the Psalms and the realities of living in our modern world.

Chorus:
Like a tree by the water
I will reach for heaven on high
Here by the stream my roots travel deep
This river will never run dry

Verse 1:
Every season I will stand
In the Winter, Spring or Summer,
When the storm winds bend me down
I will lift my head I know my anchor holds

Verse 2:
In a dry and barren land
Through the drought I will not wither
There’ll be harvest from your hand
Though we sow in tears we’ll reap with shouts of joy

Bridge:
I delight in the law of the Lord
Day and night in the Word of the Lord
I delight in the law of the Lord
Day and night in your Word O my Lord
But the wicked will not stand
Will not stand
