The Rope Lyrics

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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-rope-lyrics-martina-mcbride.html ] 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
