Walking to a shore just right across the sea. Your ocean enchants me, bewilders me.
Have you known what I’ve heard from deep within? Your love stays the same.
Your love stays the same.
The moonlit came showing the starry night beneath. I have known you for so long.
Gripping myself always to be slouching at your seas. I have asked, why? But my why’s were never the point, for your love outshines it all.
If I could only take you in my pocket, oh how would I love to. Your waters are too great it cannot be caught. Can I ever have you with me, there wherever I go? But your oceans I cannot take. I know for certain you’d always be there.
By then I knew it is I, it is I. If I cannot take you with me, then maybe you can take me with you. See your waters are great, and I am a small creature amidst your current. So I decided then to plunge and soak myself into you that we may be one.
We are a story of one.
I’m captivated. All I want is your dwelling place right here in my presence. More and more and more, drinking is not enough. I will soak. I will soak.
Your oceans are too great and the might of the unknown came. Paddling got me breathless, restless. To my lost strength, the current pulled me down and I’m lost in the deep. A thing came inside of me – a thing they call ‘fear’. When my feet had known the shore once more, I do not completely know if I could ever know your waters for more.
Dazzling when I came, trembling when I got out. Will I ever be in love with your splashes again?
No amount of work could reach the restlessness I feel whenever I fear. You were my love. You were. Now do I fear and not dare move near you.
Sun rose to a day. Have I yet to tell yesterday had been real? I woke up trying to find peace, but peace hadn’t come. Everything else just whispers, “your love was lost, your love was lost”. In the shore but I’m drowning. Feet upon the land but I’m struggling. Confusion was something new. Would you be my love anew?
Suddenly you did what I never thought you’d do. When I thought I’m all cornered, fears coming after me and I have nowhere to run to, you did what was most unimaginable to me. Your seabeds you have exposed to me. You have raised up walls in front of me – walls not made out of glass or stone but walls made out of the love I thought I once lost. You were over the waters, you have ordered against the current. You are mightier than the might of the unknown. You have split the seas into two. Your love before me exposed and you have caused me to walk beneath the waters I once got afraid of. And I knew, if I cannot swim my way to my fears, you would split the waters into two just so I may be able to walk through the oceans.
Oh bother, who are you now waves? I have soared, conquered, and overcome. My love has rescued me. My love was here for me.
Oh you current and you of the deeps, my love had made a way. My love is still the same!
Greater than the great is he than you who is in my sight.
He split the oceans into two and I have yet to praise Him more and more, all the days of my life.
“the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided”
Exodus 14:21
