Gone Astray



Across the sea of doubt and fears
I'm tossed about about by waves
I'd like to try to swim to shore
But I'm just not that brave

Is there anything here left to cling to?
Is there anything here I can hold?
Am I going to die by drowning
Or freeze in the bitter cold?

My heart has gone astray again
Again I've wandered off and gotten lost
Lost and alone and crying for help
Help me as again I take up the cross

It's so hard to trust
When I can't see the shore
So hard to believe
There is anything more

Where are you now that I need you?
Why don't you answer my call?
If you're really there, do you hear?
Can you see me, broken and small?

My heart has gone astray again
Again I've wandered off and gotten lost
Lost and alone and crying for help
Help me as again I take up the cross

The waves of my undoing are drowning me
I still believe that you can rescue
Lord, hear me screaming in the night and answer me
I still believe that you are true

My heart has gone astray again
Again I've wandered off and gotten lost
Lost and alone and crying for help
Help me as again I take up the cross
