On the Deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship, 1492 |
| Lord, we take this journey |
| To find a promised land |
| Lord, we take this journey |
| To find a promised land |
| And we believe in your power |
| We believe in your power |
| We believe in your power- |
| But the end is so close |
| So close at hand… |
| Lord, these men are hungry- |
| There just hasn’t been enough |
| And the journey’s been so rough |
| And, Lord, these men are hurting |
| They implore me to go back |
| As the planks beneath them crack |
| And I know it’s my responsibility |
| But I’m starving, too- |
| And I hurt, I do |
| And I’m lost… |
| I believe in my responsibility |
| But I need to see if the fruits will be worth the cost- |
| So I’m begging You, Lord |
| You gotta stop! |
| Take a look |
| At your children who believe in this promised land |
| Have mercy, Lord! |
| Stop their suffering and their woe- |
| Whoa, whoa! |
| Stop! |
| Shine your light on these children |
| Who have faith in your guiding hand |
| I’m just begging, Lord |
| ‘Cause there’s no place else to go! |
| I am unworthy, Lord! |
| Lord, this ship is crowded |
| And the men are tired and worn |
| But another baby’s born- |
| And, Lord! |
| This ship is broken |
| And the sails are ripped and old |
| But the winds are rough and cold |
| And I know it’s my responsibility- |
| When I ride the sea |
| These men turn to me for a sign |
| And I believe in my responsibility |
| But I can’t be sure |
| When it’s time for your light to shine |
| So I’m begging you, Lord |
| To make it stop! |
| Take a look at your children |
| Who believe in this promised land |
| Have mercy, Lord |
| Give a sign to let us know |
| Whoa, whoa! |
| Stop, shine your light on these children |
| Who have faith in your guiding hand |
| I’m just begging, Lord |
| ‘Cause there’s no place else to go |
| Lord, save this child |
| I am not strong enough |
| I am not strong enough |
| Lord, save my soul- |
| I am unworthy! |
| Lord, take my hand |
| I am not strong enough |
| I am not strong enough |
| Lord, take my heart- |
| I am unworthy! |
| Lord, give me hope |
| I am not strong enough |
| I am not strong enough |
| Lord, give me life- |
| I am unworthy! |
| I am unworthy! |
| Lord!!! |
| Stop! |
| Take a look at the children |
| At the children who believe |
| In this promised land! |
| You gotta have mercy, Lord! |
| Have mercy, Lord! |
| Give us strength so that we can grow! |
| Stop! |
| Shine your light |
| On these children who have |
| Faith in divine command! |
| I’m just beggin', Lord |
| I’m just beggin' you, Lord |
| I know I am unworthy |
| But there’s no place else to go… |
| A new world calls across the ocean |
| A new world calls across the ocean |
| A new world |
| Calls across the sky |
