| Knee deep in the swelling seas without a thought
|
| Or realization of my dying need,
|
| I cannot keep out this grim disease
|
| For it has plagued and overtaken all,
|
| All our dying breed.
|
| Waist deep in the ocean’s sleep
|
| Without a thought or realization of my dying need,
|
| (I cannot) can’t keep what I didn’t reap
|
| For I see justice coming swiftly for,
|
| For every thought and deed.
|
| None had taught.
|
| Such wickedness from the start.
|
| In deed, in thought, my heart was tearing apart.
|
| In vain I fought.
|
| Hoping this pain would depart.
|
| Still no one could tame this wild heart.
|
| Lawless and reckless, my will and my art.
|
| «Flawless"I profess, yet wicked in heart.
|
| Lawless and reckless, my will and my art.
|
| «Flawless"I profess, yet wicked in heart.
|
| A liar, a thief is what had marked my soul.
|
| Thought lying and stealing would make me feel whole.
|
| Neck deep in the water’s grave
|
| Without a thought or realization of my dying need,
|
| (I cannot) can’t keep back the coming wave
|
| For I see it coming swiftly for,
|
| For which I carry and plead.
|
| None had taught.
|
| Such wickedness from the start.
|
| In deed, in thought,
|
| My heart was tearing apart.
|
| In vain I fought.
|
| Hoping this pain would depart.
|
| Still no one could tame this wild heart.
|
| The ocean’s deep and thick
|
| My lungs are filling quick.
|
| I scream and flail and kick.
|
| For my heart is truly sick.
|
| I feel the end is near.
|
| Choked up by waves of fear.
|
| Distant, You seem unclear.
|
| Until the Savior nears.
|
| Cut through the night.
|
| My curse and my plight.
|
| Blinded by light.
|
| Holy in white.
|
| My heart didn’t fight.
|
| My heart didn’t fight.
|
| Crushed by the sight.
|
| Shame had taught.
|
| Of all my sin in disgrace.
|
| In love You sought.
|
| To bring me to Your embrace.
|
| My life was bought.
|
| By God in taking my place.
|
| For none could show
|
| Such mercy, love and grace.
|
| Grace!
|
| My heart didn’t fight.
|
| My words at a loss.
|
| Crushed by the sight.
|
| The sight of the cross. |
