engine off – i have arrived
in a land i will never leave
open the door – out to explore
but God i can hardly breathe

is this my destination
the map was not too clear
this land is cruel and i’m out of fuel
guess i’m stuck here

but God, i cry for You now
rescue me, or show me how
how this is not a fail
how this is better than the belly of a whale

do i have a mission?
or should i already know
it’s so strange that i have changed
still have to be told where to go

so i’ll reach out to the lost
though i don’t really feel that found
i will not tame or abandon my claim
to my flag in the ground

 

well i’m supposed to be too old to cry
i’m supposed to be too wise for why
but the struggle for what is true
God it seems harder than running from You
