I Want To Be Like A Fruitful Tree

I would like to be like a fruitful tree,

But I’ll be what YAHWEH wants me to be.

As a fruit tree produces its fruit,

And as flowers bloom,

I want to be one of YAHWEH’s own.

As I was sitting under a tree,

YAHWEH spoke to me,

And moved within me.

A thought came to my mind,

“Would you like to be a tree of mine?”

I thought about what HE said,

As the thoughts flew through my head.

I knew I didn’t want to die,

And I began to cry,

And prayed for YAHWEH to help me be

Like a tree of life.

And when I was finished I felt so good inside,

That I jumped up and down,

And praised YAHWEH, MOST HIGH!

I want YAHWEH to work on me,

That I be like a fruitful tree.

I really do believe

In perfect peace HE will keep me.
