Coal

If I trust myself, and in my strength I'll be in the desert with nothing to drink I'll live in the wilderness, so far and so alone And I won't help myself, so hot and yet so cold I choose not to lean on my own understanding I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me I'll be like a tree by the river When I put my trust in You I'll be like a coal in the fire When I put my hope in You If my heart departs and I turn away Then I will be cursed from the absence of my faith Lord without your help I'm drowning in the sea And I won't help myself, I can't move and I can't breathe I choose not to lean on my own understanding I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me I'll be like a tree by the river When I put my trust in You I'll be like a coal in the fire When I put my hope in You I choose not to lean on my own understanding I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me I'll be like a tree by the river When I put my trust in You I'll be like a coal in the fire When I put my hope in You
