Like A Tree By The River - Psalm 1

[Verse 1]
I won’t walk in the counsel that pulls me from Your hand
I won’t stand in the shadows where bitterness demands
I won’t sit with the scoffers that tear Your people down
You lifted me from that
You turned my heart around

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m chewing on Your promise
Every word
Day and night
Your truth in my thinking
Your fire in my eyes

[Chorus]
I’m like a tree by the river
Roots down deep in Your living word
I will not wither
I’ll flourish forever
Everything I touch will prosper in the Lord
I’m like a tree by the river (yeah)
Planted strong where Your waters flow
Season after season
You’re my reason
Fruit in its time
And my soul will grow

[Verse 2]
I find joy in Your statutes
In every holy line
When the night tries to shake me
Your whisper stills my mind
I’ve been dry
I’ve been broken
But Your stream found my ground
Now life is in my branches
Hope is all around

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m holding to Your promise
Every breath
Day and night
Your voice in my wilderness
Your name is my life

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[call-and-response with choir]
Lead: Blessed is the one
Choir: Blessed is the one
Lead: Who is standing in Your word
Choir: Standing in Your word
Lead: I won’t turn to the left
Choir: I won’t turn to the right
All: I am planted
I am anchored in the light

Lead: I am not afraid
Choir: I am not afraid
Lead: When the dry winds blow
Choir: When the dry winds blow
All: My God is the river
Everlasting flow

[crescendo]
Lead: My leaf won’t fade
Choir: My leaf won’t fade
Lead: My hands will thrive
Choir: My hands will thrive
All: Every step
Every breath
You bring it alive

[Chorus]

[Outro]
[soft
Then swelling]
Like a tree by the river
I’m staying where You are
Day and night in Your presence
That’s where the blessed ones are
