The Sea Is Calling

At night
When it’s quiet
And the waves come rolling in
The merchant ships light
Paints the dark
As we sing hymns

To one who is great
Whom by words cannot be seen
When all left is love
There will be no in between

Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world

A distance
From grace
We shall toil
With our days
And take home the dirt
That has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry
Is there something in the sky
We know we are present here
Though may never know why

Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world

Tucked in the corner of earth
Placed on the wayside at birth
Found on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into the world

Miracle

A little shade will grow into a tree
Leaving us in wonder as it sleeps
Who on Earth can fathom, who on Earth can know?
You are but a thought in your maker's eyes

And I may not always believe
But you're nothing short of a miracle

Feeble, tiny hands bound for greatness
You will rise and fall like the rest of us
Love will keep you up, and always be the crutch
That will see you through to the very last

And I may not always believe
But you're nothing short of a miracle
Clever minds will second guess
But to me, you're a living miracle

Something else comes over me
Grace has come to set me free
In your hands, you hold a new forever

We may not always believe
Past which side we really see
Pride and lust is our disease
And the cure is you, little miracle
