I heard the voice of God whisper in my sleep
He said “fetch your ropes and grab your hopes and dreams
Take away those awful schemes and turn to let me take the lead“
But I said “Father give me one more minute before you take reigns
I have a lot of nets that I have to escape
And a lot of weeds are getting in my way
There’s no excuse I need more time so please wait”

Oh cause I am just a boy lost too far out at sea
I lost direction by the waves that cover me
I lost direction still the Captain beckons me

And He says “Son don’t fret I’ll help you along the way
And when you get tired just turn around and I’ll be there to fetch you out
Of the sea of faces that float within the deep
I promise son you won’t slip away
I promise son you won’t slip away

Oh Cause I am just a boy lost too far out at sea
I lost direction by the waves that covered me
I lost direction still the Captain He saves me

So I yell “tally ho” for here I go
To a city that doesn’t need no hope
Where the father waits upon that shore
To welcome with an open door
That son He knew He would not loose at Sea
That son He knew I know now to be me

So I run and rest my head against
My Fathers waiting loving chest
He tells me “Oh son how much I love thee”
And I stay with Him for all eternity
