Speak to the deep
The restless endless sea
Quiet the wind
Stirring endlessly
Round and around
This circle of sky
Bring it back to the ground
In the stillness profound
Be lifted
Be lifted up high
Be lifted
To light up the sky
Illuminate the vanity
Corrupting my humanity
Entangling distractions
Temporary satisfactions
Blow them out to sea
Cast them to the deep
In deepest darkness let them dive
And never let them come alive
Be lifted
Be lifted up high
Be lifted
Be King of my life
Restore what I lost
In the wind at the cross
Make this restless heart
Steadily new
As deep in my soul
I surrender control
To find freedom
Like I never knew
Speak to the deep
In the depths of my soul
Quiet the winds
That are out of control
Round and around
Stir my heart to your sound
You have given me hope
And a freedom profound
