📝 LYRICS Verse 1 (Soft, vast — guitar notes like ripples) Sails unfurled toward the north wind’s sigh… Chains on wrists, but the spirit flies high… The sky grew dark on the inland sea… I said “Beware — much harm will be…” But the harbour seemed fair, the wind seemed kind… Little we knew what the dark would find… Verse 2 (Rhythm deepens — low whistle enters) Then the gale broke loose from the northern sky… Ship of wood and men tossed high and dry… Cargo cast overboard, ropes all frayed… Fourteen days no sun, no light to aid… Every heart gave up, every hope ran thin… In the dark where the waves roll in… Pre-Chorus (Calm, clear — light breaking through) But in the night when the world seemed gone… An angel stood where the dark was drawn… “Sailor, fear not — you shall stand before the throne… And all with you — they shall be brought home…” Chorus (Luminous, steady — harmonies wide and deep) THE WAVES MAY RISE, THE WIND MAY SCREAM 🌊🕊️ BUT THE LORD ALONE STEERS THE DREAM… NOT A HAIR SHALL FALL, NOT A SOUL SHALL DROWN… HE WHO PROMISED — HE WILL NOT FALL DOWN… THROUGH THE BROKEN WOOD, THROUGH THE BITTER SEA… HIS FAITHFULNESS — IT SHALL SET US FREE… ✨ Verse 3 (Gentle — dawn breaking) Morning broke on a bay unknown… Sand and rock where the waves were thrown… The bow ran deep, the stern broke wide… Every soul swam safe to the other side… Soldiers’ plan was made — but the centurion said “Nay…” For Paul’s sake — we all may stay… Bridge (Quiet, mystical — flute melody delicate) Kindled fire in the island rain… Viper struck — but it brought no pain… They watched and waited for death to come… But I shook it off — and the world went dumb… No harm befell — no poison’s power… God’s hand upon me in that dark hour… We healed their sick, we spoke His name… Three months abiding — and we remained… Final Chorus (Soaring, peaceful — full sound then fading) THE WAVES MAY RISE, THE WIND MAY SCREAM… BUT THE LORD ALONE STEERS THE DREAM… NOT A HAIR SHALL FALL, NOT A SOUL SHALL DROWN… HE WHO PROMISED — HE WILL NOT FALL DOWN… THROUGH THE SNAKE, THROUGH THE STORM, THROUGH THE NIGHT… WE CARRY THE LIGHT… WE CARRY THE LIGHT… 🌅🙌 Outro (Whisper — flute drifts away, harp soft) Safe to shore… Safe in His hand… The promise stands… Forever… ✨
