May we be

like a tree

planted by the water

that sends out its roots

by the stream.

It does not fear

when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

the trees of the forest

will sing for joy

to the LORD,

for he comes

to bring Justice

and make all things new

so every girl and every boy

we will clap our hands

with the trees

we praise and worship You!

clap, clap, clap, clap

clap, clap

clap like a tree

we praise and worship thee!

May we be

like a tree

planted by the water

that sends out its roots

by the stream.

It does not fear

when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.

a good Tree has no worries

in a year of drought

they have no time to doubt

or pout

because their strength comes from the Lord

they will still bear fruit as their reward

good trees!

bear good fruit!

but a bad tree!

bears bad fruit!

good trees!

bear good fruit!

but a bad tree!

bears bad fruit!

Lord, make me be

a good tree!

who bears good fruit

for you!

May we be

like a tree

planted by the water

that sends out its roots

by the stream.

It does not fear

when heat comes;

its leaves are always green.
