Into the Deep

Malcolm Gordon

Draw us from the shallows
Out into the deep
Our faith was weak and hollow
But it’s strengthened in our need
Though the waters overwhelm us
Though the shore be far from sight
From the storm you call forth stillness
From the darkness you call light

Even the wind and the waves
Will listen to your voice
Oh speak your love and your grace
And calm the storm within

Lead us from the certain
Into your mystery
With fearless love abounding
You ride the raging seas
Though the waters overwhelm us
Though the shore be far away
You walk on waves to find us
Your hands reach out to save

Even the wind and the waves
Will listen to your voice
Oh speak your love and your grace
And calm the storm within

Far beyond the headland
Where fear and freedom meet
The drowning and the dying
You haul us to our feet
Though the waters overwhelm us
Though the shore is far behind
Drifting daughters you will rescue
Shipwrecked sons you will find

Even the wind and the waves
Will listen to your voice
Oh speak your love and your grace
And calm the storm within
