I long to be that silent tree
That stands down by the bay.
I long to feel the growing joy
Of my branches a sway.
I wish that I too grew in peace,
My roots deep in a soil
That proved to be more fertile than
This life of grief and toil.
The tree that grows upon the shore
Where water springs so sweet
Will grow and spread at root and crown,
Drawing strength from rich peat.
I too can be that soaring tree
By drinking from your word
And rising up above the pain
Where your voice can be heard.
Psalm 104:16
The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
