Good-Bye My Saddest Song

Take great ears to what i say
hear me loud and clear 
for a heart that was once lost at sea
ship has reappeared
In the middle of the sea was the tale 
that I should tell to all
Of how on that night
on November ninth I took my greatest fall 
And though on that day I sank to the ocean floor
where there was no light
the blame can not completely bare that day 
for I was sinking long before that night
but something out of the ordinary
there came to me a string of hands
that all collided under your will to deliver me to land
so to you I owe much much more 
then my heart could ever give
for by no others will could I have been saved
for by your grace i live
so forever more I will sing of the Great I am
who came and restored my home
and I lift my hands in total praise
Cause you pardoned my saddest song
