Like a Tree
A tree declares the glory of God
With its great stability…
Such a beauty and strength it portrays
Standing so majestically.
But there’s more to that tree than we
see,
Its roots grow deep in the ground…
And it is there, where the roots begin,
The seed of new life is found.
Without the seed there would be no root,
And without the root no tree…
Without the tree there would be no fruit,
A dry barren land we’d see.
The soil of the heart is for God’s seed –
Receive it – begin to grow…
Rooted and grounded it isn’t long
Before fruit begins to show.
There are those who plant, others water,
The seed within you and me…
But only God can give the increase
And make us strong Like a Tree.
“He shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
(Ps. 1:3)
