Souls On Board Lyrics

Windows are broken, years of rust on the doors

The rudder is damaged and we're headed off course

l cracks in the hull are deep

And the water's pouring in

It's listing and drifting and the warning bells ring

This compromised vessel is beginning to sink

Untethered and adrift in this squall

With the waves and the window

Behold the blue ship moving through space

With a passenger list of hearts who need grace

Late December came Jesus the Lord

Who arrived in time to save

All the souls on board

We are not predestined, every moment's a choice

His love is the same if we fail or rejoice

The Creator writes His law in our hearts

But we're free to disobey

Now we're sailing on seas with no sense of direction

We're given all the hints but we don't make the connection

All the while drifting farther and farther away

Behold the blue ship moving through space

With a passenger list of hearts who need grace

Late December came Jesus the Lord

Who arrived in time to save

All the souls on board

The chasm between who we are and what we should be

Is as deep and wide and as far as infiniti

we can never bridge that gap under our own power

and that's why this Child was born in that dark hour

In Bethlehem at that dark hour

Behold the blue ship moving through space

With a passenger list of hearts who need grace

Late December came Jesus the Lord

Who arrived in time to save

All the souls on board
