Coal

[Verse 1]
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 (Jeremiah 17:5-6)

[Pre-Chorus]
I choose not to lean
On my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways
And You direct me (Proverbs 3:5-6)

[Chorus]
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
I'll be like a coal in the fire (Isaiah 54:16)
When I put my hope in You

[Verse 2]
If my heart departs
And I turn away then I will be cursed
From the absence of my faith (Hebrews 11:6)
Lord without your help
I'm drowning in the sea (Hebrews 11:29)
And I won't help myself
I can't move and I can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
I choose not to lean
On my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways
And You direct me

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I choose not to lean
On my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways
And You direct me

[Chorus]
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
