Alone at sea as a wanderer
Adrift now lost track of time
Sun scorched and without guidance
A prisoner of this ocean and my mind
Lost on the waters of self-reliance
With a paddle made out of broken dreams
Frantically calling for anyone
Please come hurry and rescue me
How lonely is this ocean
Once your arms are all paddled out
Sitting perched on pieces of wreckage
Sharks circling to feed on my doubts
The ship that sailed me into my bright future
Now has dreadfully fallen apart
Smashed by the storm of my addiction
Not at all what I had intended from the start
Searching the painful horizon
No signs of life can be found
Waves are crashing in tragic melody
Chords of regret making ominous sounds
God’s mighty spirit is calling
The giver of light to all things
Holy Spirit always shining forth
Beacon to all lost human beings
A lighthouse standing tall on a cliff
For all His lost ships at sea
The mark of His safe harbor
A place of rest and peace for you and me
A compass of sure direction
He is the wind that makes me come about
He delivers power into my sails
He is a rudder of guidance in the midst of my doubt
God has given me a new vessel
This ship will for sure sail me home
Headed back navigated by His glory
No longer do I travel alone
Now as I turn for safety
Only His spirit knows the way
I am headed for God’s safe harbor
Now the waves finally obey
The stars have become my music
Dancing across the beautiful night
The bear jumps over Orion
My new heading takes off in flight
No more wasted movements
No need for orange life vests
God has now taken over my journey
Giving this sailor much needed rest
My life is now good weather
In this ocean I am no longer alone
Sailing along in calm waters
Pointed towards Jesus who will carry me home
Psalm 107: 28-30
Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven.
