Planted by the Waters (by E.Reilly/Gtrs by J.Cruz)

Christian musician, guitarist, husband to my lovely wife Cheryl, Dad, Grandpa. Music features my guitar work for Christian Rock artist, Erin Reilly.
Story behind the song
Erin wrote this song as an encouragement based on bible verses from Jeremiah 17:9-10:
“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.” The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
Lyrics
Seasons and people will change
No need to fret, no need fear
Our God will remain the same
He makes something remarkable spark from what died
And brings it to life, yeah
That’s what He did with my life
And He’ll do again, yeah
The world may go insane
Spiral downward, turning from the truth
But this one vision remains
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord and won’t be moved
Not be moved, not be moved
It’s what we must do
To make it through
Through the storm, the heat, the drought we’ll be dependent on the One who sustains
When rays of sun won’t beam like evergreens we’ll be rooted deep as a tree planted by the water now
It’s time to learn how to stand
Strength’s not dependent on how we feel
It comes from His mighty hand
When we hold fast in faith, fight the good fight
Our God will provide, He’s our guide, yeah
We won’t just survive
No, we will thrive
Through the storm, the heat, the drought we’ll be dependent on the One who sustains
When rays of sun won’t beam like evergreens we’ll be rooted deep as a tree planted by the water
Though hills and mountains may disappear
His love for you will never ever fade away
Nothing may feel bright but He’s a faithful light
And we’ll shine, love divine is by our side
Through the storm, the heat, the drought we’ll be dependent on the One who sustains
When rays of sun won’t beam like evergreens we’ll be rooted deep as a tree planted by the water now
Oh, Planted by the Father now
