Feather On the Sea

Feather on the Sea It wasn’t very long ago Tomorrow was my friend, Life was like a river rolling lazy ‘round the bend. Wasting time and then I found that Time was wasting me: Took me and it tossed me like a feather on the sea. Following a fading star I know I’ll never find, Like a drunken sailor never looking once behind. Floating like a feather on an ocean full of foam: One more dream-struck drifter whose horizons are his home. Feather on the sea, that’s me, without You, Jesus rescue me from the sea--take me through. Feather on the sea. You can be my compass with Your wisdom and Your will, Jesus help me travel when I feel I’m standing still. You can be my map and help me reach that far off shore: Help me weather every storm no matter what’s in store. Till I found You I was on an ocean of despair, Using up my future like it really wasn’t there. Facing every wind of fate no matter how it blew: Feather on the sea without a friend till I found You. Feather on the sea, that’s me, without You. Jesus rescue me from the sea--take me through. Feather on the sea.
