The Emerald Compass

Lay your head to rest – I’m trying to be comforting best I can Put your racing thoughts to sleep and give me your hand Open your eyes to the light for heaven’s sake! Thoroughly scan The surface of the ocean that unveils the sliver of light, Mimicking your spotlight… Now do you understand? If you don’t get distracted by the commotion God’s light will be your emerald compass… God will catch me before I subside again He’ll surely guide you to a safe, dwelling place How do you glisten like the moonlight? Will you acknowledge the guilt, plunging inside you and let it go? Will you let it go? LET IT GO! ~~Chorus~~ Give me a chance to overcome These waves of emotions Understand my situation Don’t pay attention to the commotion I see you in secret, Skipping with pride and unspoiled vitality While I’m… frozen forever Livin’ this life guilt-free is impossible in my case… Bring me the rope of hope, so that I can go with the swing of things Your screams fail to reach my ears You won’t hear me cry aloud These tears were bottled up inside for years I just wanna scream out loud! Turn the wheel in my mind’s eye – I’m overflowing with guilt and horror – Don’t let the tide of terror sweep over me with woe Open wide your mouth Let me fill it in with words of pure, inviting insight That's natural from God's nature... Purified by the Holy Spirit God will be your emerald compass...just make sure To patiently follow it Patience and self-control will do you good, no harm done Make sure to finish your mission before the day's gone
