Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 The salt air came in heavy on a tired man's bones Rome was waiting somewhere past the edge of the foam He'd worn the inside of a jail cell like a second skin But out here on the open water, something settled in Verse 2 No telling what was waiting at the end of the sea But the Spirit that was in him was enough to keep him free Not free from what was coming, not free from what had been Just free down in the deepest place that freedom ever lived Chorus And I think I understand him just a little tonight Not the chains or the calling, just the quieting inside When you've given everything you had and you'd give it again And the only thing left is just grateful Just grateful, amen Verse 3 I've worn a few of my own chains, Lord, you know that's true Spent some years running hard from everything but you But somewhere on the water of this life you gave to me I found that same quiet place that Paul found on that sea Bridge The stars don't ask you nothing out here on the open water God's got a purpose and it's bigger than my sorrow I've been broke and I've been blessed and I've been both the same day And I wouldn't trade a moment Not a single wave Final Chorus And I think I understand him just a little tonight Not the chains or the calling, just the quieting inside When you've given everything you had and you'd give it again And the only thing left is just grateful Just grateful Just grateful, amen
