Myrrh

I had a dream about the sea
I was a lighthouse, You were calling to me
I was living in retreat
Hiding from Poseidon’s fury

I saw the last sands of time
When the unprepared will beg the wise
I reached for my lamp to light
To look for oil but found the fool in mine

But wisdom will be justified by
What she bears over her life
So break my leg, my name decide
That I’ll emerge unrecognized

The water came in slow
Great the fall, my tower buckled
I had let my love grow cold
As accusations plundered all my hope

I woke rattled to my core
Of my life deluded meant for more
If it’s You or the shore
I am Yours, I am Yours

But wisdom will be justified by
What she bears over her life
So break my leg, my name decide
That I’ll emerge unrecognized
Mine will be a vessel shattered
Every drop poured o’er my Lover
So bring the floods, bring the fire
I am Yours, hell or high water

I will ne’er again retreat
From the Gethsemane in which You’re leading me
To Golgotha, unto death
For You will triumph o’er all defeat

In spite of sorrow, loss, or pain
Our course be onward still
We sow on Burma’s barren plain
We reap on Zion’s hill
I had a dream about the sea
I was a lighthouse, You were calling to me

But wisdom will be justified by
What she bears over her life
So break my leg, my name decide
That I’ll emerge unrecognized
Mine will be a vessel shattered
Every drop poured o’er my Lover
So bring the floods, bring the fire
I am Yours, hell or high water

You have a dream for You and me
You are the lighthouse, Your light beckons to me
