Skye Peterson - Cedar of Lebanon lyrics

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, ooh
Yeah

These February skies
They don't scare me anymore
Each morning brings the light like
Heaven's opening it's 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, ooh
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
Oh

Like a cedar of Lebanon, oh oh
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, ooh
Yeah
