I feel just like a sailboat
I don’t know where I’m headed
But you can’t make the wind blow
From a sailboat
They tell you from the beginning to get rid of your expectations. They say it like a bad word or some horrible disease we are all inevitably going to catch. I didn’t think I had many expectations, but then, I didn’t expect it to be like this.
I have seen the sun
I’ve felt the rain on my skin
I’ve been lost and found
But mostly I’ve been waiting
This is hard. It is full of challenges. It is sickness. It is lonely. But this is also adventure. It is laughing until your belly hurts. It is climbing so you can see for miles. It is finding sweet soul friends in unexpected places.
Oh I’m out in the waves
And I’m hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
Night after night there’s an empty horizon
My god do I feel so alone
But sometimes life
And most times I
Feel just like a sailboat
I pray for Jesus to be my home wherever I go. My desire is to make my heart so at home here in this place I find myself. How do I get there?
And I’m pretty sure I’m heard
At least I know I’m speaking
But I feel like a fool
Cause I can’t hear you listening
There are days of so much quiet. Why does it seem everyone else have so much clarity? Do you not see my frustration? Do you not see I feel so stuck here today? I am trusting in this quiet.
But I’m not giving up,
I’m gonna move on forward
I’m gonna raise my sail
God knows what I’m headed towards
I will not give up. You have called. I have answered. I can’t go on if I don’t put up my sail. I cannot go forward if I don’t give more of me over to you each day. You know the way when I do not.
Oh I’m out in the waves and I’m hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
And night after night there’s an empty horizon
My god do I feel so alone
Sometimes life, and most times I feel just like a sailboat
You meet me in the waves of this life. I see your love in the smiles of the kids at the foster home this month. I see your constant provision for our squad as Aly and I succeed in logistics only by your goodness.
The only change I see
From lost or found at sea
The only difference
Is believing I’ll make it in
Even when feeling lost, I am found in you. Anything you bring me to, you will bring me through. Trusting you will teach my heart to make you my forever home.
Oh I’m out in the waves and I’m hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
And night after night there’s an empty horizon
And my god do I feel so alone
Sometimes life, and most times I feel just like a sailboat
