in the ocean waves Lyrics

We wandered the wasteland

Left the safe place

And walked all alone

We hungered for hope

And choked in our thirst

As our pace only slowed

But give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

He brought us to safety

And He satisfied

Give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

His unfailing love never will run dry

We sat in our chains

And forgot our own names

In the darkness we loved

Our riots and pride

And the shame we couldn't hide

Brought us down to the dust

But give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

He shattered our chains

And changed the dark to light

Give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

His unfailing love never will run dry

We set sail with our plans

And worked with our hands

With hopes held high

When we lost sight of land

All hope was abandoned

The waves were sky-high

Who can say how hard we fought

To reach that shore

In the ocean waves we saw

The wonderful works of the Lord

He stirred up a mighty tempest

The ocean was against us

All our courage melted away in the storm

But give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

He silenced the storm

And brought us to blue skies

Give thanks to the Lord

He heard our cry

His unfailing love never will run dry
