lyrics

I’ve toiled day and night in the tide of this shore
just to build, this vessel.
We built her with grace, nail after nail
she’s exactly what I wanted.
Will she ever sail?
Will she ever sail?

But, I was the monster, took trust off the wheel and I loaded her down with doubts and my fears.
How could I expect to ever leave shore with the weight bearing down to the ocean floor?

I look at this wreckage, that’s washing to shore
I can see every blessing, the nails and the boards.
But, she could just not take the waves
with all the doubt I put in her place.
Could she ever sail again?
Could she ever sail again?

Because I was the monster, took trust off the wheel and I loaded her down with doubts and my fears.
How could I expect to ever rebuild with my hope sunken down, hope sunken down?

Could we build a ship from wreckage;
salvaged love, a new construction;
could she sail on waters raging
I still hope she can.

Jesus, build this ship from wreckage,
I can’t change the shape that shes in.
Take this love, that you gave us
make it new, again.

Let’s kill doubt who’s the captain, bring him to shore and we’ll make him a grave with the fears that I’ve stored in the ship that You gave me, let’s build her again, salvage what we can, and start over again.
