about
Featuring Portuguese multi-instrumentalist Nuno Silva on hammered dulcimer, this song expounds on lyrical themes from the psalms concerning the Lord's unchanging majesty. The cedars of Lebanon represent strength, longevity, and flourishing. They are something that the Lord plants and also shatters and He is extolled for both.
lyrics
I’d taken it all in stride
But I was too loud to listen for
The sound of the fire
It’s turning on strong
It’s time to give it up
And stop the running now
It’s on the line
I turned around, He planted the cedars of Lebanon
And may His name endure forever
Let the nations call Him blessed
The kings will bow, He planted the cedars of Lebanon
May His name increase as long as the sun shines
I laid it all down not to pick it up
Life is new again, born to run
And may He also rule from sea to sea
And from the river
To the ends of the earth
I turned around, He planted the cedars of Lebanon
And may His name endure forever
Let the nations call Him blessed
The kings will bow, He planted the cedars of Lebanon
May His name increase as long as the sun shines
And the moon is no more
The needy He delivers when they cry
The afflicted and the one who has no helper
And the lives of the poor He saves
And He rescues the needy
Yes, their lives are precious in His sight
Let the mountains bring peace to the people
In righteousness He vindicates
And may His name endure forever
Let the nations call Him blessed
His voice is strong, it shattered the cedars of Lebanon
May His name increase as long as the sun shines
