Rising


It’s so big you can’t even see the end

Full of mysteries

Things weve never seen

Each wave has its own story

How it came to be

They each have a beginning and end

A high point and where they crash

The ocean...oh the ocean

Where I feel most at home

Where I can think

Where I can find myself and my purpose

Every wave crashing and every tide rising

Is like God trying to tell me just another thing

About him, about where I’m supposed to be, what I’m supposed to do

Do you crash with the waves?

Or rise up for who you are and what you believe in?

Keep rising and rising with the waves

Stay who you are

Don’t crash…crash with the waves
