BESIDE STILL WATERS
BESIDE STILL WATERS
by Rusanne Carole
Like a tree with deep roots embedded in You
Your WordYour LoveYour Ways
Not immune from failures, challenges, or difficulties living in this world can bring forth
Whether they appear as sprinkles or massive stormsYou are my shelter and my salvation
Protecting meTeaching me
I become planted with deep roots in You
The more time I spend with YouMeditating in Your WordReady and willing to hear and respond to Your still, small voice
The water that nourishes my body and my soulThis is Your Word, beautiful and true
Let it permeate every cell as it enters, flowing freely at my willLet it saturate my mind and come to my remembrance all the days of my life
Guide me, strengthen me, hold me tight as I become like a tree in Your divine garden
Producing luscious fruit for all to see For then, Father, they will see You living within me! Your Word in action through the deep roots being continually nourished by the rivers of water only You can provide
I am planted I am deeply planted
By You For You In You
Let my actions, my attitudes honour You To You be all the glory!
Planted and pruned Knowing and trusting the Gardener
Who cares for meWho knows me oh so well and Who never leaves me
I surrender daily to grow and to become
After all, I’m His little seed growing into the tree it’s destined to be
