Sometimes I feel like driftwood tossed about on open sea

And every time I finally catch my breath, another wave crashes over me

It seems for each step forward I fall two steps behind

As I continue sinking deeper into the ocean of my mind

Chorus

Can you hear the waves crash in my mind

Can you feel the wind blowing my thoughts down

But I look up and I can see Him

Calming the waves and wind

And like the ocean His love goes on and on

My lungs are tired my arms are sore, don't know if I can last

And though I continue struggling my strength is fading fast

I call out as loudly as I can, calling for a friend

But it seems my words get lost in all the roaring waves and wind

Chorus

Can you hear the waves crash in my mind

Can you feel the wind blowing my thoughts down

But I look up and I can see Him

Calming the waves and wind

And like the ocean His love goes on and on

And when I feel I'm never gonna make it to dry land

I hear the Savior's voice I look and see His outstretched hand

He pulls me from the crashing waves onto a crystal sea

And there we stand to face the world, the Son of God and me

Chorus

Can you hear the waves crash in my mind

Can you feel the wind blowing my thoughts down

But I look up and I can see Him

Calming the waves and wind

And like the ocean His love goes on and on
