Lyrics
We were a cedar of Lebanon
Planted by Adonai
Beside the waters
We were a cedar of Lebanon
Remember how we grew proud
And now
Now we're gone
We were a cedar above the trees
We were a shield from the sun
The rivers run below us into the field
And as we grow, in our shadow
Dwell the nations of the land
We were a cedar reaching to
The Sovereign Hand
Even Eden envied us
Like no one could destroy this canopy
Could it be that our roots reach
Down to the streams in the Great Deep
With our exalted hearts
And shadowing shroud
We grew tall, so tall
And so proud
Enemies came, they came
And cut us down
Every long limb
And beautiful bough
Our ruins sink down beneath the earth
We were a cedar of Lebanon
We were a cedar of Lebanon
We were a cedar of Lebanon
Remember how we grew proud
And now
Now we're gone
We were a cedar of Lebanon
And now we're gone
We were a cedar of Lebanon
And now we're gone
