Across the waves and the stretch of the sea,
God showed me what my potential could be
He knew all along where I wanted to go,
so He guided my path and pushed me to grow
Along the shore, we walked hand in hand,
with patience and hope, He raised me to stand
At times those same shells, once fragile and sweet,
were the very thing cutting wounds in my feet
Then just when I thought I could handle no more,
cool waters of peace gave me strength to endure
I saw in the distance the path leading home,
the sea, sand and sun touched every stone
I ran with excitement, the course seemed so clear,
then stumbled in blindness and fell with great fear
I looked up and saw the pure love in His eyes,
He told me that He had heard all of my cries
My pain and my joys I felt with Him there,
His yoke was easy, but the cross hard to bear
My eyes shifted forward to each stepping stone,
I felt unprepared, but was never alone
A backdrop of sunsets, stars sprinkled the sky,
lights on the horizon meant no more goodbyes
This journey I took with my Saviour and friend,
has proved and promised that love never will end.
