In waters calm I sailed from shore   To see what I might see   And having never sailed before   I drifted aimlessly      A warm breeze rocked my boat until   In slumber I fell sound   But woke to find the light grown dim   And dark clouds gathering 'round      In haste I worked at turning back   But now the wind blew wrong   And when the night came cold and black   My strength was almost gone      But with one last small thread of hope   I bowed my head to pray   Then through the dark I saw a rope   And heard a calm voice say      Grab the rope, hold it tight   In the distance shines a light   Neither fear nor feel alone   There is One who'll lead you home      I heard my heart beat loud and fast   But did as I was told   And with the rosy dawn at last   Dry land I did behold      I kissed the sandy banks and swore   My sailing days were through   But should I ever stray from shore   I know now what to do      Grab the rope, hold it tight   In the distance shines a light   Neither fear nor feel alone   There is One who'll lead you home      Grab the rope, hold it tight   In the distance shines the darkest night   No need to feel afraid   No need to feel alone   The One who knows our way will lead you home
