lyrics

Chorus:
Build me a boat that can carry two
Cause I just can't cross this river of tears without you
Give me a heart that can know the truth
Cause I just can't cross this river of tears
Just can't cross this river of tears
Just can't cross this river of tears without you

In this world I'm living in
Full of sorrow, full of sin
I have fallen and I've been burned
I have lost and I have learned
But I'm still struggling
I try to reach the other side
Of the hurt that pulls me down
Don't you know that I need you by my side

Chorus

The way is dark in front of me
Light these stones so I can see
Through the waves and through the storm
Change this heart to keep me warm
Cause I've been shivering
Holding on with all my mind
To a heartbreak memory
But now I only long to see the light

Chorus

The winds and the waves obey thy will
And in my darkest hour you will save me still
I know you always will

There is a ship that sails the sea
It's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the trouble I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
I don't have what it takes
To live life perfectly
And I don't have wings to fly
You're the only one who can lift me
