Tides Songtext
von Meadows

Capsized and taking on water,
my life raft was going under.
I won′t accept that I've put myself here.
Some things never change,
and one thing remained the same,
is when You′d show Your face,
I always managed to turn and look away.
Shifting tides, and crashing waves,
those currents pulled me away, further and further away.
Ever changing just like the sea,
I put my faith in things that could be seen.
But I know that You're still there,
the waves still know Your name.
I filled my cup up to the brim,
with a poison known as bitterness,
down the hatch I opened wide,
I chased it down with pride.


O to grace how great a debtor,
daily I'm constrained to be.
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love.
Here′s my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
seal it for Thy courts above.

′Cause better is one day in Your courts,
than thousands elsewhere.
