Tree
Justin Rizzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let my roots go down deep
Unmovable, unshakable
In You
Chorus:
I want to be like a tree
Planted by the streams
This will be my song God
This will be my prayer
Until the end, until the end
The lyrics of Justin Rizzo's "Tree" express a desire for stability and security in God. The repetition of "Unmovable, unshakable" emphasizes the strength and steadfastness of the singer's faith. The metaphor of a tree planted by a stream of water conveys a sense of rootedness and nourishment. The singer wants to be like this tree, firmly grounded in the presence of God and sustained by His life-giving spirit. Throughout the song, the singer's commitment to this goal is expressed with a sense of longing and determination. The repetition of the phrases "This will be my song God" and "This will be my prayer" suggest a constant pursuit of God's presence and a willingness to align oneself with His purposes.
The theme of rootedness is a central one in this song, and it is reinforced by the use of nature imagery. Trees and streams are both symbols of stability and continuity in the natural world, and these images are used to convey a sense of spiritual connectedness as well. The flowing water of the stream represents the Holy Spirit, which is the source of the singer's strength and vitality. The repetition of the phrase "Until the end" suggests a commitment to remaining anchored in this relationship with God, no matter what trials or challenges may come.

Stay seated in our Jesus and wait on Him, "for He is good to those who wait upon Him and whose hope is in Him."
It's all or nothing when Jesus asks us to stay planted in Him. We either say yes or no to Him.
There cannot be any hidden ways in us. No hidden corners in our hearts. A vessel fully yielded to the Master is the example Jesus showed us.
Let's walk with Father in the garden, but there cannon be a single thing we refuse to surrender to Him.
His grace is the power to say yes to Him and no to us.
Amen. Let it be.

Wow! So beautiful to hear from you!
I have been so strengthened during hard times by listening to your music, especially ‘’Find faithful’’. (And by the way, I hope I can come to the IHOP one day.) You have been such a blessing: may the Lord grant you what your heart desires.
