Opening Song:

By the Streams by Jonathan Ogden

Lyrics:

I have found my souls delight
In You Lord In you lord
I have found my souls delight
In Your eyes In your eyes

Your word is water to my soul

Your word is life to me

Plant me like a tree by the streams of living water

Plant me like a tree by the streams by the streams

Day and night

I will meditate on Your word

Passage:

1 Blessed is the man[a]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
