The title comes from Psalm 92:12.
The righteous will flourish like palm trees;
They will grow like the cedars of Lebanon.
Brian Boniwell adds his own reflection in the verses looking at the Word, the Spirit and the water of life.
This page tells you how to get his sheet music album “People of the Resurrection”. You can hear a snippet of this song at Apple Music.
Refrain
Faithful and strong, like the cedar of Lebanon,
Gifted with life through the people of God.
You shall grow strong like the cedar of Lebanon,
Nurtured with love in the house of the Lord.
1
Just as the rain falls to water the earth,
My word upon you will bring you new birth.
2
The snow on the mountains, the clear flowing streams,
The life of the Spirit, the hope of your dreams.
3
You shall have rest in the shade of my love,
Listen and drink from the water of life.

A great hymn which captures much of the ethos and sentiment of the Lebanese people.
