My Heart’s Salvation

There was a day

When life was easy sailing

Horizon far, clear the way

Just pick a destination.



Inside my soul, I believed

A flame was burning

Igniting passion within

Until reality came my way

Lifeboat set adrift. 



Look around and see what you have done to me

You will not believe the way life used to be, but now…

Maybe love requires sailing through the storm

To be lost at sea, so I can find the way to know my heart’s salvation.



I was blindsided

Never saw the clouds approaching

My soul divided 

My anchor gone, left dying. 



Thinking back I see

How blue skies camouflage 

You were telling me 

I wasn’t good enough for you

Love tried but never true.



Look around and see what you have done to me

You will not believe the way life used to be, but now…

Maybe love requires sailing through the storm

To be lost at sea, so I can find the way to claim my heart’s salvation.



Send up a distress

Let it light the sky

Before I’m lost forever…I’ll know better

Someone hear my cry.



Look around and see what you have done to me

You will not believe the way life used to be, but now…

Maybe love requires sailing through the storm

So I will know for sure, the love that is my heart’s salvation.
