My heart is like an ocean
Tossed to and fro by wind
My mind is like a battle
That I can never win
My soul is tired of sighing
My eyes of tears are full
But words cannot come near to
Express all that I feel
My feeble knees are shaking
My wet face to the floor
And yet I cannot utter
A single phrase that's sure
I tear up every garment
With bitter heat and hate
Wishing it were my memory
I could destroy instead
My hateful mind is brewing
Like thunder in a cloud
It threatens storms are coming
But I cover my mouth
Oh God in heaven, hear me
I know I cannot speak
But Holy Spirit know me
Remember I am weak
Pray for me, oh my Jesus
There's no good thing in me
But in you I find pardon
So why don't I feel free?
Forgive me oh my Jesus
I do not wish to moan
But what more can I do when
I'm feeling so alone?
If all's not how it seems, Lord
Please bring me clarity
Please purge my heart of darkness
Fill me with purity
Oh speak into the storm that
Is raging in my heart
Please calm the wind and waves, Lord, bring peace to me at last
The war inside my mind, God
Can end in victory
If only you could bind up
My heart and soul to Thee
And as you spoke to lame men
And made the blind to see
Lord, speak your words again and
Raise me to victory
I do not wish to conquer
A land, or dream of wealth
I ask you only this Lord,
Draw me near to Yourself
Don't ever let me go, Lord
Without you life is Hell
I pant for Living Water
Lord, meet me at the well.
