I see a ship
Out on the ocean
White sail against a purple sky
A heavy sea
Thunder and lightning
Anchor down
Ready for the night

For so
Long an
Empty horizon
And now
I see
I see my ship come

Come into my harbor
Oh won’t you carry me carry me
To the wild blue yonder
Oh come and carry me carry me
Home

Captain please
Can you see my fire?
My message in a bottle starboard side
The wind will change
And I will see you
Bearing down on a full high tide

A day
A night
And I’ll be with you
For I
Have seen
I’ve seen my ship come

I saw footprints in the sand
On the days I could not stand
And I could never understand
Why you never carried me carried me away


8. EVERY REASON

One brief and shining moment
You touched the blessed raiment
Ransomed healed restored
Forgiven and adored

But hope
Is a seed that falls
Before too long you can’t recall
All those summer years

And it just feels like
They’re not coming back
And you’ve all but been forgotten
You are still a child
Of the God who smiled on you
And God still remembers you

And all the others waiting
Seem to know the path they’re taking
A constant celebration
That leaves you cold and aching

But once there was a whispered covenant
The soil took a single seed
That now has grown into a tree

All the branches low
With a fruit that grows
In the shadow of a mountain
Your’e a Holy Place
God has turned His face to you
And God has remembered you!

You’ve got every reason to believe
