V5.5

[Verse 1 ] I had a dream we were walking through night Through silver waves under borrowed light Every step felt fragile and small Like something unseen was holding it all I turned to see where our footprints began Two quiet lines in the trembling sand [Pre-Chorus ] Then the tide moved in without a sound Sky bent low, horizon unbound I called Your name through the spinning blue But silence answered where I once knew [Chorus] You promised the earth, You promised the flame Said You would stand when the darkness came But when the ocean swallowed the land I saw one set of prints in the sand Where were You when the waters grew wild? Why did heaven feel silent, child? [Verse 2] Now my heart beats slow like a distant drum Counting the seconds till rescue comes Was it faith or fear that carried me through? Was I alone in the breaking blue? Same shore, same roar, same sky undone Still staring down at a path of one [Bridge] The sky went dark like a closing door Stars fell out, couldn’t see the shore Salt in my lungs, weight in my chest Faith like a whisper put to the test I reached for the air — nothing in view Just wind and water and doubt I knew [Final Chorus ] Then like light breaking through the sea A voice cut through eternity “Child, don’t measure love by sight— I was your strength in the longest night. When the tide was high and hope withdrew, You saw one set— Because I carried you.” [Outro ] Not abandoned. Not alone. The weight of the sand was never your own! "Raise your hands, we praise You Lord Jesus!" Not abandoned! Not alone!
