lyrics

Sit us down in this little wooden boat
And I don't believe I trust this thing to float
Set us out, all the waves are tinged with red
Just further proof that we may end up dead

And I wont lie it took some time
For me to finally come to light
But now you're here, your hand in mine
Our vessel gliding through the night

I start to glance back, the frothy glass in tow
How we're supposed to do this I don't know
Waves inside crash, my breaking heart lets go
Of any hope that we can find our home

But softly there, you steal my stare
The moonlight dancing in your eyes
And I can taste the salty air
As we lay down and say goodnight

I see you there inside the dream
In the corner of the room
Shadow's blue, lost in sleep
Reach my fingers out to you
Feel the cracks, broken glass
Crashing waves of red outside
Come rushing in, soak our skin
And plunge our ship into the night

Can you see the red and blue
Swirling together and covering you
So pure you'll be
A hand painted portrait of when His blood stained the sea

As the dawn breaks I feel a light on my cheek
A breeze and you're breathing next to me
You're astounding, A glow surrounding your frame
I lean in and whisper your name
And I'm alive, the shores in sight
Jesus you have brought us through the night
Our hands entwined, we'll take our time
And sail this vessel through your sea divine

Can you see the red and blue
Swirling together and covering you
So pure you'll be
A hand painted portrait of when His blood stained the sea

Sit us down in this little wooden boat
And I'm trusting you to keep this thing afloat

about

Guthrie Deltona, Florida

Two thousand miles more behind me. For the next month I would give up the company of friends and family for that of God, nature, and the stories. Song by song I worked through my hardest and best times. These aren't stories of rehabilitation but of resurrection. I have not spent the last few months learning to cope with pain, I found peace. I want to share that with you. ... more
