You feel insignificant, a whisper in the wind Sometimes you think nobody knows your name But there's somebody watching over you And He knows everything
All who sail the sea of faith Find out before too long How quickly blue skies can grow dark And gentle winds grow strong Suddenly fear is like white
Just off the shore of my everyday life Only a heartbeat away Adventure is pulling up anchor tonight I've got no time to delay Oh, west is how everyday
If I never get to see another rainbow Or share another life with a friend If I never stand barefoot by the ocean Or get to kiss my child goodnight again
I will lay down the burdens I've spent my life bearing And confess I'm a sinner for whom Jesus died I will live every moment in the light of His mercy
Some people tell me that I look kind of funny My nose is red and the braces didn't work at all They say the clothes I wear are all out of fashion I don
I wanna sing of Your mercy I wanna sing of Your love And tell the world that I'm grateful For everything that You have done I wanna sing of Your kindness
