Changing Tides

Along the shore He walks with me.
Along the shore He talks to me.
Softly speaking to me,
The changing tides of my life.

Upon the cliff He sits with me.
Upon the cliff He talks to me.
Telling of His will for me,
The changing tides of my life.

Throughout my life things have changed,
But He has always been the same.
Ever steady, always there,
Through changing tides of my life.

His love for me is still the same,
As I call upon His name,
Joy and peace He brings to me.
In the changing tides of my life.

Storms that rage within my life.
He will always be my light.
Darkness has no hold on me.
Through changing tides of my life.

As waves rush in from stormy seas.
The roar of oceans deep.
The Love of Christ, my savior, friend,
Through changing tides of my life.

Tossed about in raging seas.
Left upon the shore.
My God, my friend He carried me,
Through changing tides in my life.

God's grace and mercy will always be.
The treasure I have found.
Within the mighty waves I see.
The changing tides of my life.

Beside me on the shore He speaks.
Then He sends me on my way.
To tell the world about His love.
He's changing the tides of my life.

SAND

Waves rush in and sift the sand,
Scattering to and fro.
The pieces of my life they go,
Into my Father’s hand.

Gently sifting through my pain,
My Savior takes a stand,
His love so grand,
Removes my guilt and shame.

He listens to my cries for help,
Then wipes away my tears.
He said, I have held on to them,
For far to many years.

My Savior knows what’s best for me,
He doesn’t leave me void.
He fills me with His love and peace,
For all the world to see.

His words so softly spoken,
Are gentle to my ears.
My Savior has forever taken,
My pain from all those years.

These grains of sand,
Are who I am.
This long and winding beach,
The one my Savior wrote upon,
When He came to preach.

He uses me to show the world,
His love can still restore.
Loneliness and sorrow,
Are welcome here no more!

Let the Father sift the sand,
Of your life you hold so dear.
What you learn is what He’ll use,
For many, many years.

Others will see His Love,
His power to restore.
He is the one who gave us life....
LOVE HIM FOREVERMORE.
