lyrics

Your love is stronger than the ocean
A steady tide that turns my heart--It's sweeping me away
Inhale so I can try to cry to you for help
But by the time I cry I find that I
Have been changed into someone else, and I
No longer need to seek for safety
I journey out beyond the shore, at home in your embrace
And at the mercy of the breakers and the swells
I know that you are holding everything
So this shipwrecked heart sings it is well

You take my life, so that I might truly live
And as I die you have me breathing in again
So as I rise, I exhale a song of love for you, my God
For you are good and glorious

Your grace is grander than the mountains
Surrounding everything I see--My eyes are overwhelmed
As I look over every valley you have carved
It's like I'm watching all of life play out
And you're cradling our broken hearts, and I
No longer need to seek the shadows
My weary flesh has tasted sun--I know the golden rays
The very light that burns me back into the dust
Is wakening my sleeping spirit and
Reminding me that I can trust again

...

I sing of a love which I have seen
In your marvelous light, oh Jesus, my King
You look in my face when you open my eyes
And you call me a child of the Father of lights

...
