If I set sail in these oceans
to farthest seas and unseen shores
to barren lands and mountains high
to wilderness; uncertainty
would You be there to look for me?
If I depart to roads unpaved
to cities burned and desolate
to lands beneath named savage
to brokenness; infidelity
would You be there to rescue me?
If I decide to fly away
to skies up high no birds have known
above the storms, towards the sun
to stars my dream; impossible
would You be there to fly with me?
And…
If I deny your precious gifts
and run away with unbelief
to the darkness no light has shone
to death below; eternity
would You be there to die for me?
I have doubted and doubted still
my eyes have sinned; faith so little
my heart’s deceits took me enslaved
to no escape; condemnation
Would You be there to welcome me
Back to where You are?
In this I am now so certain
that I needed You, a Savior
and that only in You I’ll find
no other kind of salvation.
Jesus, save me!
