"WIND AND WAVE"
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." - James 1:5-8


I needed some wisdom on a matter of faith
So I sought the Lord at His dwelling place
Hello, is anyone home?
He said "Let him who comes to me ask believing
'Cause faith is revealing but doubt is deceiving
Ya know? Don't ya know?"
But I couldn't seem to stand my ground
I floundered, flailed and almost drowned
And as I sank, I thought I heard a sound

(Chorus:)
Wind and wave, to and fro, back and forth, stop and go
Lost in doubt, am I out or am I safe?
Fire and ice, land and sea, it's up to you, it's down to me
Will I be eternally weak in faith?
On the wind and the wave.

A voice inside me said, "You're on your own!
You blew it once too often, now He's left you alone!"
Oh no! Please, say it ain't so!
So I clung to my feelings, forgot the facts
'Til I heard the voice of Jesus telling me to relax
"Let go, I'll take control."
Well, it was tough at first, but I obeyed
I just went limp and then I prayed
"Please, Jesus, save me from this open grave."
(Repeat chorus)

Now I'm not sayin' that I will never doubt again
'Cause after all, I'm just a man - yeah, yeah
All I know is if I should doubt again
He'll understand, He understands

I will never leave you, nor forsake you
I will always be with you
I will never leave you, nor forsake you
I will always be with you
(Repeat chorus twice)

Wind and wave, wind and wave, wind and wave, wind and wave...
