Loosen My Lips

Lord loosen
my lips

loosen the earth
underneath my feet
for my soul to grow

loosen my heart
for me to know

the word of the lord
shall wash me clean

yet my heart is drowning
in a sea of fear and doubt

i shout out loud
where faith must know

but where is the light
in the eyes of the storm

thus, what he has in store for me
