Like a Tree

Scripture  

Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NIV)  

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,  

whose confidence is in him.  

They will 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.  

It has no worries in a year of drought  

and never fails to bear fruit.

Refrain  

I am rooted in love that never dries out.

Poem  

Rabindranath Tagore  

“Trees are the earth’s endless effort  

to speak to the listening heaven.  

And every root, every leaf,  

every breath of green  

is a wordless prayer,  

reaching deep into the dark,  

yet always leaning toward the light.”
