through the heat
through the pain
that aches the very being of my soul
when my eyes awaken
to a unexpected hour of day
when everyday things
that were always easy
suddenly seem harder to reach
i look out the window
at the hope of the sky
and wonder what the neighbors can see
i'm not afraid
maybe a little startled
i'll clench my fist at the enemy
and stand tall cause i know
that He will walk with me through the storms
when my boat is sinking
Jesus the Man who calms the raging seas
He will hear my cry of faith
that's translated to his heart
beat after beat
He will put me back on my feet
i'll rise above the water
and i'll throw an oar
for anyone a shore
cause i want them to see
it's Jesus not me
