"Psalm 1 (A Life In Bloom)" by Red Letter Society - Flourishing in Faith


Red Letter Society's "Psalm 1 (A Life In Bloom)" is the debut single from Jordan West's ambitious project with Red Letter Society, a project where all 150 psalms will be put to new meditative and worshipful music. 

Red Letter Society - Psalm 1 (A Life In Bloom)Starting with Psalm 1, Red Letter Society takes a closer look at what it means to live deeply rooted in God's Word. The song cuts right to the chase with, "Blessed is the one who walks in light, turns from sin and does what's right," reminding us that choosing truth over lies sets us apart. Because it's not always that easy to see what is truth, we are reminded to constantly seek God's face in the Bible. God is the source of all truth, and He steers us clear from the lies.

The chorus beautifully sets the scene of "A tree planted by streams of water, flowers in bloom, yielding its fruit." This scene is personal, showing us that the righteous aren't just surviving, they're thriving because of their connection to God.

Psalm 1 also explains what happens to the ungodly, those who reject God's ways: "Swept like chaff across the land." (or, like the NKJV reads: "… like the chaff which the wind drives away.") The message? The most important thing you can (start to) do is to order your life according to God's Word.

If you're looking to deepen your relationship with God and have a more meaningful life, then this song is for you. May you listen, reflect, and let its truths lead you to seeing your life in bloom.

(Related scripture: Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Matthew 7:17-19)
