true strength - blood waters the cedars of lebanon lyrics

Loading...

you muslims push to exterminate us christians who toil in your fields
we live and die in the same sands, to be judged by the works of our hands
for every green olive you press for oil, and for every gold kernel of wheat
have touched the hands of a christian; remember this fact when you eat

out of antioch had come, st. maron who would give birth to a people
by the banks of the orontes river, he would lead a quiet ascetic life
after his death his followers, would flee their fellow christians’ swords
to the walls of the valley of kadisha and where the mighty mount lebanon soars

our blood waters the cedars of lebanon
our tears are the headwaters of the jordan
our sweat nourishes the fields of al husun
our hearts are the seeds of the pines of edessa

in syria the cross came to damascus by the preaching of the disciple st. peter
and on that same road, saul became paul, when he heard the call from the lord
the melkites flourished and still lived in peace, even after the muslim invasions
through the crusades until modern day, where they face death from the radical’s sword

our blood waters the cedars of lebanon
our tears are the headwaters of the jordan
our sweat nourishes the fields of al husun
our hearts are the seeds of the pines of edessa

at bethany beyond the jordan, bethabara where john the baptist preached
where our lord and savior jesus christ, received the baptism we now beseech
medaba, the city of mosaics had preserved an ancient jerusalem map
the arab christians of jordan, still live in amman, al husan and fuheis

our blood waters the cedars of lebanon
our tears are the headwaters of the jordan
our sweat nourishes the fields of al husun
our hearts are the seeds of the pines of edessa

king abgar the ix of edessa, had embraced the new christian faith
converted by a missionary named addai, through mesopotamia he came
the pesh+tta and the diatessaron in the century to follow were made
the christians survived a terrible flood, to become martyrs when the romans had reigned

our blood waters the cedars of lebanon
our tears are the headwaters of the jordan
our sweat nourishes the fields of al husun
our hearts are the seeds of the pines of edessa
our blood waters the cedars of lebanon
our tears are the headwaters of the jordan
our sweat nourishes the fields of al husun
our hearts are the seeds of the pines of edessa
