Ship Out of Water

This life is like an island
Surrounded by eternity
You sailed away
Much too soon on that sea
Memory is a country
Where I can go to see your face
But where can I go?
When I miss your embrace

Like a ship out of water
You left me waiting here
Longing just to be with you
The time will come when we cast off
From the shore of all our fears
And sail into the wild blue
Wonder of heaven and you'll be there

If you could be here now
I think I know what you would say
Don't cry for me
I'm at home and I'm safe
Let all the tears that fall here
Turn to diamonds in God's hands
Bright offerings
From life's shadowlands

Like a ship out of water
You left me waiting here
Longing just to be with you
The time will come when we cast off
From the shore of all our fears
And sail into the wild blue
Wonder of heaven and you'll be there
