It feels like an ocean of sorrow
is under my skin
Even the ocean eventually
meets with the sand
Sorrow on sorrow, I’m waiting
Heavy I’m anticipating
Trusting the current will carry me
You are my strength
You are my song
You are my salvation
You hold it all together
We come with great expectations
and fears in our hearts
Send us Your light as we’re
making our way through the dark
All of earlier troubles
Chaos and pain they unravel
Looking ahead we rejoice in You
Like a stone in the wasteland
I was useless until You
Lifted high, in Your mercy
Out of sorrow and made new
Oh this mind it cannot measure
All Your favours in this world
So we shout in adoration
Holy, holy are You Lord
