Grand ocean reaching
Boundlessly into the skyline
Where the waters end, the shores run free
A perfect design made for me to tend
Sad You needed Your own Son to send
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
An old intriguing wooden pier
Running into the sea
A stretch of shoreline smooth and clear
Separating the pier and me
Step forward slightly careful
So my marks won't taint the sand
But from the pier, I turn to see
A broken path that leads to where I stand
Dark impressions and You weep
Takes a heavy heel to sink so deep
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
What could ever clean the path I left behind
If the water sweeps my prints away?
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
A garden made for me to tend
I fail so You had to send
Your one and only gracious Son
Coming like a tidal wave
Rinsing all I have done
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
What could ever clean the path I left behind
If the water sweeps my prints away?
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
