Like a Tree (Psalm 1)
by Caroline Cobb

Album: Psalms - The Poetry of Prayer

Verse 1
Blessed is the one who loves Your Word
Your ways are his delight
Knows that He needs it
Eats, sleeps, and breathes it
Thinkin' on it day and night

Verse 2
But sad for the one who walks away
Sits down with all the scoffers
Buildin' his kingdom
Callin' it freedom
Chasin' after what the world offers

Chorus
I wanna be like a tree by the river (Tree by the river)
Oh, plant me down by the deep, deep water (Deep, deep water)
When the sun gets hot my leaves won?t wither (Leaves won't wither)
Oh, plant me down like a tree by the river
Oh, plant me down by Your deep, deep water

Verse 3
I want to b? like a mighty oak
Roots growing strong and deep
When the wind blows
Th? roots gonna hold
'Cause You?re holding on to me
Yeah, You?re holding on to me

Chorus
I wanna be like a tree by the river (Tree by the river)
Oh, plant me down by the deep, deep water (Deep, deep water)
When the sun gets hot my leaves won?t wither (Leaves won't wither)
Oh, plant me down like a tree by the river
Oh, plant me down by Your deep, deep water

Bridge
Plant me, plant me, plant me by the river
Wash me, wash me, wash me with Your water
Plant me, plant me, plant me by the river
Wash me, wash me, wash me with Your water
Plant me, plant me, plant me by the river
Wash me, wash me, wash me with Your water
Plant me, plant me, plant me by the river
Wash me, wash me, wash me with Your water

Chorus
I wanna be like a tree by the river (Tree by the river)
Oh, plant me down by the deep, deep water
When the sun gets hot my leaves won?t wither (Leaves won't wither)
Oh, plant me down like a tree by the river
Oh, plant me down by Your deep, deep water
