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 
YouI'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in 
YouIf 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 
YouI'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in 
YouI 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 
YouI'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in 
You
