Never at the Mercy of the Wind
A different kind of brokenness,
It’s my head and not my heart;
It’s not knowing what to do or pray,
But knowing God, You are…
Able to hold on to me and all that I’ve committed,
Able to reveal Your heart and remind me I am in it;
You are the only One True God
The winds and waves obey,
You can quiet ev’ry storm
When troubles come my way,
You are not One to forget
The promises You’ve made;
And though I may appear adrift
On a sea of brokenness,
I’m never at the mercy of the wind.
You know where I am going,
You know where I’ve been;
You keep me from falling,
When my life is on the edge;
You’re able to hold on to me and all that I’ve committed,
Able to reveal Your heart and remind me I am in it;
You are the only One True God
The winds and waves obey,
You can quiet ev’ry storm
When troubles come my way,
You are not One to forget
The promises You’ve made;
And though I may appear adrift
On a sea of brokenness,
I’m never at the mercy of the wind.
When the sudden hits me,
And it’s more than I can take;
Nothing shakes You, You remain
The same from age to age;
And You’re able to hold on to me and all that I’ve committed,
Able to reveal Your heart and remind me I am in it;
You are the only One True God
The winds and waves obey,
You can quiet ev’ry storm
When troubles come my way,
You are not One to forget
The promises You’ve made;
And though I may appear adrift
On a sea of brokenness,
I’m never at the mercy of the wind.”
My life is tossed, but I’m not lost,
Here, where I’ve never been;
Here, You make me brave to trust
Your way of love I can’t predict;
(… I can’t predict…)
I’ve heard it said, “The cause is lost;
Move on and let it go.”
Some people seem to make that work
But this is what I know;
You’re able to hold on to me and all that I’ve committed,
Able to reveal Your heart and remind me I am in it;
You are the only One True God
The winds and waves obey,
You can quiet ev’ry storm
When troubles come my way,
You are not One to forget
The promises You’ve made;
And though I may appear adrift
On a sea of brokenness,
I’m never at the mercy of the wind.”
Whatever is the reason
For what seems overdue,
Take me past horizon lines,
‘Til all I see is You;
You are the only One True God
The winds and waves obey,
You can quiet ev’ry storm
When troubles come my way,
You are not One to forget
The promises You’ve made;
And though I may appear adrift
On a sea of brokenness,
I’m never at the mercy of the wind…
(no, no, no…)
I’m never at the mercy of the wind.”
