Cedar Of Lebanon

Solomon spoke of the cedars

That crown the snow-topped hills

They stood like the trees of Eden

Keeping steady and still

I wish I could say the same, it's true

But as the seasons change, they change me too

And maybe if I mustered the courage

I could face the shifting winds

And flourish through His nourishment

When faith wears thin

If you hold me, hold me tightly now

'Cause when winter comes, I'm on shaky ground

So let me be

As steadfast as an evergreen

Let me carry on

Stay strong, like a cedar of Lebanon

Ooooh, yeah

These February skies

They don't scare me anymore

Each morning brings the light

Like Heaven's op'ning its door

Every day I keep on living

Be it rain or be it shine

Let me be patient in the waiting

With the Kingdom inside

So day and night

Let me reach the heights and scrape the skies

Let me rest upon

The Promise like a cedar of Lebanon

Ooooh, yeah

Oh, and if You come to me, will You cut me down

And build me into Your temple now?

Dwell in me and make me new again

Oh, and when my evergreen should turn to brown

I trust You to make me new somehow

'Cause You, O Lord, are faithful to the end

Transform, O Lord, this metaphor

I'll never be that strong

But Your love will stand in the winter storm

Ohhh

Like a cedar of Lebanon, ohhh

As steadfast as an evergreen

And You will carry on

Stay strong like a cedar

Let me carry on

Stay strong like a cedar of Lebanon

Ooooh, yeah
