OCEANS DEEP

OCEANS DEEP AND OCEANS WIDE,

OCEANS MOVING WITH THE TIDES,

OCEANS ROARING IN THE NIGHT,

OCEANS FLOWING IN SUNLIGHT.

SEAS ARE RISING WITH A GALE,

SHIPS ARE FEARFUL, THEY SET SAIL

FOR THE LAND, THE NEAREST PORT,

AND THEY KNOW THEY ARE THE SORT

TO WRECK UPON THE NEAREST ROCKS,

SHOULD WIND AND TIDE NOT ABATE.

YET THEY KNOW THAT PRAYER DOES BLOCK

THE WINDS. THEY PRAY AND WAIT.

THEIR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED,

THE WIND ABATES, THE GALE

IS QUIETED DOWN.

THE OCEANS KNOW THAT IT IS NOT

TIME FOR ANYONE TO DROWN.

THE OCEANS ARE SO LOVELY,

AND SCARY, DON'T YOU SEE?

THEY ARE SO VERY BEAUTIFUL,

YET THEIR POWER FRIGHTENS ME!
