The Ocean and Me

The Ocean and Me

I told the ocean 
Give them back
The people walking out of the sea
An army they couldn’t see coming

I told the ocean 
Tell the tales so no one
Would cry
That they were silenced by water
Buried by waves
Cry to me

I told the ocean
Be easy, let me walk 
On you
Bask in you
Fearless and free
Save me

Finally I wrestled
The deep
But the ocean won

I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
