B F#
Solomon spoke of the cedars
B F#
That crown the snow-topped hills
B F#
They stood like the trees of Eden
A#m B
Keeping steady and still
B F#
I wish I could say the same, it's true
B
But as the seasons change,
A#m C#
they change me too
B F#
And maybe if I mustered the courage
B F#
I could face the shifting winds
B F#
And flourish through His nourishment
A#m B
When faith wears thin
B F#
If you hold me, hold me tightly now
B
'Cause when winter comes,
A#m C#
I'm on shaky ground
F# B
So let me be
G#m
As steadfast as an evergreen
F# B
Let me carry on
G#m F# B
Stay strong like a cedar of Lebanon,
B F#
ooh, yeah
B G#m F# B G#m
B F#
These February skies,
B F#
they don't scare me anymore
B F#
Each morning brings the light
A#m B
like Heaven's opening its door
B F#
Every day I keep on living
B F#
Be it rain or be it shine
B F#
Let me be patient in the waiting
A#m B
With the Kingdom inside
F# B
So day and night
G#m
Let me reach the heights
and scrape the skies
F# B
Let me rest upon
G#m F# B
The Promise like a cedar of Lebanon,
B F#
ooh, yeah
B G#m F# B G#m
A#m
Oh, and if You come to me,
B
will You cut me down and build
me into Your temple now?
A#m C#
Dwell in me and make me new again
A#m
Oh, and when my evergreen
should turn to brown
B
I trust You to make me new somehow
A#m
'Cause You, O Lord, are faithful
C#
to the end
C#
B F#
Transform, O Lord, this metaphor
B F#
I'll never be that strong
B
But Your love will stand in
F# C#
the winter storm, oh
F# B
Like a cedar of Lebanon, oh-oh
G#m
As steadfast as an evergreen
F# B
And You will carry on
G#m
Stay strong like a cedar
F# B
Let me carry on
G#m F# B
Stay strong like a cedar of Lebanon,
B F#
ooh, yeah
