The Sovereign Tide (Psalm 29)

[Verse 1] The tide surged bold The king’s word vain Feet in the foam His throne in the rain “Hold fast!” he cried But the waters laughed Salt and sky The power he lacked A sovereign who spoke Yet the waves defied A kingdom of sand The sea replied [Chorus] He makes a way through the sea Though footsteps are unseen Unseen He calms the storm with a whisper And stills the waves between [Verse 2] The belly of the deep A tomb of brine I cried I cried “Salvation is Thine!” Down to the roots where the mountains grow Weeds wrapped tight The currents’ undertow Yet From the pit A voice broke through To Your temple I’ll rise anew [Chorus] He makes a way through the sea Though footsteps are unseen Unseen He calms the storm with a whisper And stills the waves between [Bridge] The voice of the Lord Like thunder it roars Over waters mighty His power outpours Cedars shatter The wilderness quakes The voice of the Lord The ocean wakes Glory crowned in tempest’s breath A whisper commands both life and death [Chorus] He makes a way through the sea Though footsteps are unseen Unseen He calms the storm with a whisper And stills the waves between
