These waves are waking me
New life is breaking through
Here in the wake of me I find I’m in the wake of you
I give the life I cannot keep to gain the life I cannot lose
Currents of mercy speak a word I can’t refuse
Coming clean it’s not an easy escape
But it won’t be a mistake
I’m so sick of building my life on only boards and nails
For what is man upon the sea but a torn and ragged sail?
I had one thing left to say when all other words had failed
God, my God, have mercy!
I cast myself into the gale
Coming clean it’s not an easy escape
But I can see the sea would have me either way
Coming clean I’m bleeding but I’m being remade
Like every seed new life begins within the grave
Your waves are breaking these walls I built in my pride
Your grace is shaking this wretched mast I call my life
You wash my world away
Wash my world away
Wash my world away
It’s a splinter in your side
Coming clean it’s not an easy escape
But I can see the pain is worth the price that I pay
Coming clean I’m bleeding but I’m being remade
Here in the sea, the worst of me is fading away
