LIKE A TREE

 

Be like a tree planted by a flowing river,

yielding so much fruit its limbs sag under the weight.

Humble yourself so that His light will shine here

within your heart and it shall illuminate

the lives of those with whom you interact.

Lord, let not the cares of the world distract

me from meditating on Your word. Let me

be like a tree planted by a flowing river,

yielding so much fruit its limbs sag under the weight.

Humble myself so that Your light will shine here

within my heart and it shall illuminate

the lives of those with whom I interact.
