Palm Psalm

"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O most High: to show forth Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night.... The righteous flourish like the palm tree.... They shall still bring forth fruit in an old age... To show that the Lord is upright: He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him" (Psalm 92:1,2,12-15).

The palm tree deeply sends it root
Into the fertile ground;
It flourishes and gives its fruit
With branches that abound.

The palm tree is a fitting type
Of those in Christ who grow
And bring forth fruit in season ripe
To bless the world below.

Lord, help us grow, as does the palm
That weathers every storm,
To thank and praise You with our Psalm,
And to Your will conform.

Lord, like the palm, though old in age,
We'd flourish in our walk,
To show the truth of Scripture's page,
That You are still our Rock.
