Lyrics
Free (The Wave's Song)
story behind the song
James 1:5-8 (NLT)
I am like a wave
In a restless sea
Tossed by the wind,
Blown by the breeze.
I feel like I am caught.
How do I choose between
An invisible hope
And the things that I see?
I am like a wave,
Moving to and fro,
Pushed by other powers,
Yet yearning for control.
I feel like I am lost.
How do I choose between
This secure illusion
And the One who sets me free?
I am like a wave
In this restless sea.
I am tossed by the wind,
I am blown by the breeze.
I shimmer on the surface,
Moving to and fro.
I am pushed by other powers,
I am searching for control.
And I want to trust, I want to hope,
I want to be set free,
But I'm not sure how to trust
In what I cannot see
When all the world around me
Promises to be
Everything that I am searching for,
Everything I think I need.
Teach me to believe.
I don't want to be a wave,
I am tired of this sea,
I will learn to put my faith
In the One who sets me free.
