[Verse 1] I was already far from shore, Beyond the strength I had before. The tide kept whispering through the foam, "Stop fighting now—you're too far from home." I waited for a rope to fall, A distant answer to my call. Instead... You wrapped it 'round Your own waist tight, Then plunged into the waves that night. Not standing safely on the sand, But coming with an outstretched hand. You entered all the storm with me, And faced the depths of my dark sea. [Calm] Every wave that pulls at me Pulls on You across the sea. Every fear that drags me down Only makes Your grip more sound. You could have stayed On solid ground... Instead You chose The raging sea. Love tied one end Around Your heart... And the other end Around me. [Verse 2] There are days I fight the tide, Forgetting You are at my side. The sea still says, "Just disappear. No one else is holding here." But every surge and every swell Meets the pull I know so well. Someone already made the choice: "We're going home." I know Your voice. [Calm] Every wave that pulls at me Pulls on You across the sea. Every fear that drags me down Only makes Your grip more sound. You never asked That I be strong... You only asked That I believe. The One who tied His life to mine... Will never leave. [Bridge] No wind can fray it. No storm can part. It's tied around Your faithful heart. The sea can't loosen What love has tied. As long as You are by my side. [Calm] Every wave that pulls at me Pulls on You across the sea. You never threw A rope from shore... You wrapped it first Around Yourself. Now every tide That carries me Must first break through The love That bound Itself To me.
