So Many

When oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace

Songwriters: Joel Houston / Matt Crocker / Salomon Lighthelm
Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) lyrics © Capitol Christian Music Group

SO MANY

when the whispers in your ear...
the daggers hurt
crackling of fire that’s never put out
like the ocean from shore to shore
always a bit more

follow the bouncing dot
through the musical score
you can’t keep up anymore
as you catch your breath

and hit your knees
with tremendous force
close your eyes
fold your hands
and begin

the prayers for them
so many of them
so many close
you can’t keep up

but HE can
