Like a Tree Planted by the water | Psalm 1

"Like a Tree Planted" is an original worship song drawn directly from Psalm 1 — the gateway psalm that opens the entire Psalter with a declaration about the blessed life. Psalm 1 presents two ways: the way of the righteous, whose delight and meditation is in the law of the Lord, and the way of the wicked, which leads to destruction. The blessed person is not defined by moral achievement, but by rootedness — like a tree planted beside streams of water, drawing life from the Word of God day and night. This song follows that theological arc: from the contrast of two paths, through the daily discipline of meditation, to the organic fruitfulness that comes from abiding in God's Word. The prayer of the bridge — "You are the stream, You are the planting" — declares that even our fruitfulness is His gift. Scripture Into Song is a ministry dedicated to setting God's Word to music — not as background to the text, but as a form of deep theological encounter with Scripture. Each song is rooted in a specific passage and follows the arc of that text from beginning to end. SCRIPTURE: Psalm 1:1–3 (NIV) SONG: Like a Tree Planted MINISTRY: JSLEE Ministry / Scripture Into Song
