Again and Again

I'm bearing down
upon the ocean's edge
grim danger lurks before the bow
running aground
I founder on a ledge
all threads of hope desert me now

chorus:
waves break over me
I drown in your sea
grace proves greater than my sin
again and again

I'm looking out
to the approaching tide
exposed upon this barren shore
eroding doubt
and nowhere else to hide
your eyes behold forevermore

chorus

and I turn my face away
move my lips to pray
help me find my way
in this dark place
and I turn back to the wind
lift my eyes again
help my heart to bend
toward your face

chorus
