A Tree Planted by the Water

Jeremiah 17:5-8

"Thus says the LORD,

Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind

And makes flesh his strength,

And whose heart turns away from the LORD.

For he will be like a bush in the desert

And will not see when prosperity comes,

But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,

A land of salt without inhabitant.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD

And whose trust is the LORD.

For he will be like a tree planted by the water,

That extends its roots by a stream

And will not fear when the heat comes;

But its leaves will be green,

And it will not be anxious in a year of drought

Nor cease to yield fruit."

There is so much joy in serving the Lord! On Sunday, I felt for the first time I was truly worshipping God and I believed the words I was singing. We sang one of my favourite songs and I thought I would put the words to it below:

King of Kings, Majesty

King of Kings, Majesty

God of heaven, living in me,

gentle Saviour, closest friend,

strong deliverer, beginning and end,

all within me falls at your throne.

Your Majesty, I can but bow,

I lay my all before you know.

In royal robes I don't deserve

I live to serve your Majesty.

Earth and heaven worhip You,

love eternal, faithful, and true,

who bought the nations, ransomed souls,

brought this sinner near to your throne;

all within me cries out in praise.

Your Majesty, I can but bow,

I lay my all before you know.

In royal robes I don't deserve

I live to serve your Majesty.
