Broken Waters

Lyrics

[Intro] Life comes forth when the water breaks. Giver of life don’t make mistakes. Purpose poured out like we’re shakes. All well done like we’re eating steaks. The Lamb was cooked, the wine is ripe. He paid my price, didn’t need no Stripe. By His stripes, He has healed my spirit. I can seek God’s face, I don’t need no Skype. [Verse 1] Ah. No wonder. By Your grace, I’m not down under. I could be in the pits of Hades now, But You don’t cut ties asunder. Even now, I fault and blunder, Your mercies ring loud like thunder. So hush ye, o anaconda, Your condemnation won’t plunder me of my joy. Follow the script just like He wills. Read that Word til I speak that diction. Submerged in the Spirit, no gills. I wanna make scriptures my addiction. Of the healthier sort, no pills. I’m saved by grace. All facts, no fiction. When I walk by faith not sight, I’m trusting the Chef to His work in the kitchen. No micromanagement. Though my walk don’t look extravagant. Daily, I remain adamant, So I don’t chop fruit like I’m Adam and Eve. I will not leave this garden, Hear what I’m saying, don’t beg my pardon. The harvest is plenty, I’m here for the plough. Lost to a labourer, look at me now. [Hook] So when I throw my hands in the sky, Battered and bruised, tired and weary. I can rest well knowing He cares, Even through the storms when my eyes are teary. When I’m on my knees in prayer, I can rest well knowing He’s a God who hears me. Cos He loves me dearly. [Verse 2] Deep calleth unto deep, What’s calling out from the depths of the spirit and bringing your body to weep? Drank of my tears, enough just to quench me. Jumped in the pool of my problems, who sent me? I was drowning. These breakers and billows had scattered and spent me. My pond of prayers is filled up with quarters, And I long after God like the deer for the waters, More than I do His daughters. The question ain’t “when?”. Why was my soul downcast? Why was my heart sad? If I hope in the Lord and remember Him, Scripture says I will praise Him again. And we know there’s no lie in Your pen. That You have written will sure come to pass. I hope in Your promises, yes and amen. Restore in me joy that will last. For out of my belly shall flow living waters, Pouring my heart out in praise. And surely your goodness and mercies shall follow me, All of the rest of my days. [Outro] These broken waters, Aren’t gone over me.
