Lord, let me be a tree
Standing strong and steady
Roots holding fast and reaching deep
Into the depths of your truth.
Lord, let me be a tree
Strong and sheltering
Branches stretching upward, leaves ever turning
Toward the warmth of your love.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Psalm 1
