The Boat Ashore · letra

Verse 1

Woke up in the morning, and it felt like the black of night Stumbled out of bed, tripped on my Bible, stumbled over the light Blinded by the break of day, I shut my eyes, I was alone Couldn't say my prayers, good God almighty, where's my telephone?

Pre-Chorus 1

And now I know Now I know Know what You meant when You told me You wanted to hold me

Chorus

Hold me (Take my hand and lead) Hold me forever (Walk this land with me) Hold me and never (I'll be there, don't leave) Tell me you'll ever (For forever) Let me go

Verse 2

No, I didn't know, I didn't understand the plan You had for me And it isn't that I don't believe, I do believe that You love me Yeah, but how do I reciprocate when I know there's nothing good in me?

Pre-Chorus 2

Say it's so Say it's so Say it 'til I really hear it When You say, "Don't fear it, let go"

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Hold me (Take my hand and lead) Hold me forever (Walk this land with me) Hold me and never (I'll be there, don't leave) Tell me you'll ever (For forever) Let me go

Bridge 1

Crash me, wash me on Your shore Drifted way too far from my moorings and more Overboard the oars went, relentless was the roll Of the restless sea, set me free from its treacherous shoal

Guitar Solo

Bridge 2

Take my hand, and we will play Walk this land with me today I'll be here, don't be afraid For forever And a day

Verse 3

Now that I have run this boat ashore, please don't let me go Now I know, I know you, I know you like never before You wait, you wait, you waited for me, now I know
