about

"But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good."

- Psalm 52:8-9

lyrics

Oak Tree tall and strong, trunk of pride, roots long
Branches boasting of power and fame
One ear of drought, no water to find
Oak tree suffers, cut off in its prime
Boasting of power, stands strong and tall
Without the spring of everlasting life, the oak tree will fall

(Chorus)
But I am like the Olive Tree
In the house of God I’m flourishing
I will trust in God’s unfailing love, forever and ever
I will hope in your good name
For what you have done, I will praise
In the presence of your saints, forever and ever

The Orchard grows flawlessly, majestic fruits for all to see
Vibrantly do its colors entice
Look close to reveal, pass façade, what’s real
Pests destroying it inside out
Majestic and vibrant, seems without flaw
Without the light of the world, the Orchard will fall

Chorus

One season we’re fine, one season we fall, one season it’s dark and cold, one season we grow and stand nice and tall
It’s not always so easily understood, just to know in every season there is good

For we are like the olive tree, in the house of God we’re flourishing if we trust in God’s unfailing love, forever and ever
