Tiny boat on an angry sea
Sails torn and tattered
How could Jesus be fast asleep
Like it doesn’t matter
Soon as He opens His eyes
The storm just dies
It’s alright
Everything will be okay
You just hold tight
I’ll be with you the whole way
When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
Keep going, we’re almost home
It’s alright
Everything will be okay
Mother Mary’s got a broken heart
From the words they’re saying
Her baby boy’s being torn apart
By the world He’s saving
He says, Mother, don’t cry for me
You know where I’ll be
No promise of an easy road
Just a destination
Next time you forget your hope
Somebody’s waiting
Soon as you open your eyes
You’ll realize
It’s alright
Everything will be okay
Just hold tight
I’ll be with you the whole way
When you’re weak, He’ll be strong
Keep going, you’re almost home
When you’re weak, He is strong
Keep going, you’re almost home
It’s alright
Everything will be okay
