Sarah Swandell - Harbor Me: Psalm 69 Lyrics
Save me from waters roaringMy throat is sore from calling so loudWinds are whipping waves around meThey will try to drown me outMy eyes are searching for a lighthouseA place to anchor on the landFeet can’t seem to fight this currentWill they find a place to stand?When the flood is rising up,Will you rise up?Harbor meKeep me safe withinHarbor meBring me to your shore againMy feet are tired of treading waterBut if I quit I’ll surely sinkHow can I still feel so thirstyWhen I have these tears to drink?My heart is small for so much sorrowMy grief’s a river spilling its banksWords get tossed into the tideWhen I try to give you thanksWhen the end is drawing near,Will you draw near?Harbor meKeep me safe withinHarbor meBring me to your shore againFinally the wind dies downSlowly all the waters recedeFeet are back on solid groundFollowing where’er you leadAnd soon the ocean feels like a mem’ryThe water sounds so far from hereWill I still recall your mercyWhen my trials have disappeared?When shame covers my face,Do not hide your faceA stranger’s drifting, house to houseA boat without a place to dockWind is whistling low and darkNo one seems to hear his knockHis feet are tired from treading the streetsHe’s looking for a place to stayWill a house’s light bring welcome?Who will open doors today?When the world turns away,I won’t turn you away (no, I will)Harbor youKeep you safe within(I’ll) Harbor youLet you in my heart again
