I was stuck in the same scene, same sins, same cycles,
Heart half-hopeful, mind on survival.
Sunday sermons but a Monday mess,
Prayin’ for peace while I played defense.
I loved too loud, I lingered too long,
Held onto harm just to feel like home.
But God don’t groove with a foot in doubt,
He said “choose your direction or figure it out.”
I been halfway holy, halfway hurt,
Tryna sip faith while I chased the thirst.
But a fire don’t flicker, it flames or it fades,
And Heaven ain’t built on escape plans, nah.
So I burn the ships, no switchin’ sides,
No rearview mirror, no alibi.
If it costs me comfort, I’ll pay that price,
I want real faith, not a compromise.
Hands in the air, heart on the line,
I ain’t lookin’ back, I’m crossin’ tides.
If loving You means losin’ them,
Strike the match — I burn the ships tonight.
I made a woman my weekend religion,
Called it devotion but dodged conviction.
Held onto hope with a death-grip grip,
While God kept knockin’ like “let that ship sink.”
I kept a bridge just in case I fall,
Just in case fear starts talkin’ too loud.
But heroes don’t hover between the doors,
They step out strong and they don’t look north.
David didn’t wait till the odds made sense,
Elijah didn’t hedge his bets.
If You’re the God that parts the sea,
Then cut the cord behind me.
So I burn the ships, no switchin’ sides,
No rearview mirror, no alibi.
If it costs me comfort, I’ll pay that price,
I want real faith, not a compromise.
Hands in the air, heart on the line,
I ain’t lookin’ back, I’m crossin’ tides.
If loving You means losin’ them,
Strike the match I burn the ships tonight.
Make me bold, make me brave,
Make me choose You every day.
No lukewarm love, no middle ground,
Turn my fear into holy sound.
If You want it all, You can have my past,
Every “what if,” every almost-back.
I don’t need a plan B anymore—
You’re the door.
Yeah,
No safety nets, no second guesses,
Faith in my feet, fire in my chest, yeah.
I ain’t runnin’ from love, I’m runnin’ to truth,
If it’s me and You, that’s bulletproof.
So I burn the ships, let the sparks fly high,
Watch old chains turn to testify.
I don’t need the shore when the stars align,
I was made to move, not live confined.
Hands in the air, heart baptized,
This ain’t goodbye it’s my new life.
If loving You means losin’ them,
Strike the match I burn the ships tonight.
Yeah…
Forward only.
Faith over fear.
No ships left to save me —
Just God right here.
