Chalice Hymnal ‎#615

615. I Shall Not Be Moved

Refrain:
I shall not be, I shall not be moved.
I shall not be, I shall not be moved;
like a tree planted by the water,
I shall not be moved.

1 When my cross is heavy,
I shall not be moved,
when my cross is heavy,
I shall not be moved;
like a tree planted by the water,
I shall not be moved.

2 When my burden's heavy,
I shall not be moved,
when my burden's heavy,
I shall not be moved;
like a tree planted by the water,
I shall not be moved.

3 If my friends forsake me,
I shall not be moved,
If my friends forsake me,
I shall not be moved;
like a tree planted by the water,
I shall not be moved.
