My compass heading seemed so sure at the start
A noble voyage in the light of the stars
Naive yet precious ardour
Full canvas into the unknown
But now the sky seems clouded
Can't see ahead, can't turn for home
God I need You
Feels like I'm drifting in the dark
But there's a whispering on the waves
And through the mist, I hear You say
"Take my hand and you'll be fine
We're gonna make it through 'til morning light
And when the stars fade from the sky
I'll be your guide
Your guide"
Time and tide wait for no one I'm told
And maybe I'd have waited if I had known
The end from the beginning
You know that I can be afraid
So You lead me on this journey
With no map but what You say
So God I need You
I know it's meant to be that way
You are the wind inside these sails
And through the doubts, Your voice prevails
"Take my hand and you'll be fine
We're gonna make it through 'til morning light
And when the stars fade from the sky
I'll be your guide
Your guide"
You lead me in paths of Your righteousness
Over leagues uncharted where the tides
Bring mercies new each day
Your rod and Your staff are my confidence
And if I ever lose my way I'll still my heart to hear You say
"Take my hand and you'll be fine
We're gonna make it through 'til morning light
And when the stars fade from the sky
I'll be your guide
Your guide"
"Take my hand, yeah
We're gonna make it through, we'll see the light
And when the stars fade from the sky
I'll be your guide
Your guide"
