The Tree and the Wind - Psalm 1

Intro

Verse 1

Blessed

Truly blessed

Far from the path where the wicked gather

No sitting with the scorners

No leaning on the lies

But the law

The law is his delight

Day and night

Day and night

Deep in the truth under the wide blue sky

Chorus

He shall be like a tree by the water

Planted by the rivers of life

He shall be like a tree by the water

Bringing forth fruit in his time

Its leaf shall never wither

No it never shall wither

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Post-Chorus

Rivers of life

Rivers of life

Rooted and reaching

Rivers of life

Verse 2

Not so

The wicked are not so

Chaff

Driven by the desert wind

Blown like the dust

Scattered like the sand

They cannot stand

They fall when the judgment comes

Lost in the storm

Lost in the heat

Left with nothing in their hand

Chorus

He shall be like a tree by the water

Planted by the rivers of life

He shall be like a tree by the water

Bringing forth fruit in his time

Its leaf shall never wither

No it never shall wither

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Post-Chorus

Rivers of life

Rivers of life

Rooted and reaching

Rivers of life

Bridge

The Lord knows the way

He watches the way

He guards the way

But the path of the wicked shall perish

Like smoke over the hills

Gone

Fading

Perish in the wind

Chorus

He shall be like a tree by the water

Planted by the rivers of life

He shall be like a tree by the water

Bringing forth fruit in his time

Its leaf shall never wither

No it never shall wither

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Everything he does shall prosper in the light

Outro

Blessed is the man

Blessed is the man

Rooted in the river

Rooted in the law

Blessed

Forevermore

Blessed

Forevermore
