(Slow‑tempo soul ballad – piano, warm electric organ, subtle bass, and a gentle brushed‑drum groove. A background choir whispers “Amen” on the refrains.)

Intro

(Soft piano arpeggio, a faint hum of a distant choir)

Verse 1

Blessed are the ones who walk a quieter road,

No footsteps echo where the shadows grow.

They won’t stand where the sinner’s whisper lies,

Or sit beside the mockers’ empty cries.

Pre‑Chorus

Their hearts are tuned to a higher song,

Day and night they hum the Lord’s own tongue.

Chorus

Oh, I’m rooted like a tree by living streams,

Leaves that never fade, a harvest in my dreams.

Every step I take, every prayer I sing,

Turns the dry to green, makes the heavens ring.

Verse 2

When winds of doubt try to blow the chaff away,

The righteous stand firm, they’ll never sway.

The wicked drift like dust upon the air,

But we’re anchored deep, we’re standing there.

Bridge (Soulful vocal run)

The Lord watches over every trembling heart,

He guides the path where love and truth impart.

Even when the night feels cold and long,

His law is the fire that keeps us strong.

Chorus (Full choir joins)

Oh, I’m rooted like a tree by living streams,

Leaves that never fade, a harvest in my dreams.

Every step I take, every prayer I sing,

Turns the dry to green, makes the heavens ring.

Tag (spoken softly, then sung)

“Blessed are those who choose the light,

Who meditate on love each night…”

Outro

(Piano fades, organ holds a sustained chord, choir hums “Amen, Amen” as the last line lingers)
