Grand ocean reaching boundlessly
Into the skyline
Where the waters end the shores run free
A perfect design
Made for me to tend
Sad You needed Your own Son to send
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I’m needing a tidal wave
An old intriguing wooden pier
Running into the sea
A stretch of shoreline smooth and clear
Separating the pier and me
Step forward slightly
Careful so my marks won’t taint the sand
But from the pier I turn to see, a broken path
That leads to where I stand
Dark impressions and You weep
Takes a heavy heal to sink so deep
~Chorus~
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I’m needing a tidal wave
What could ever clean, the path I left behind
If the water sweeps my prints away
I think I’m needing a tidal w-ave
A tidal w-ave
A garden made for me to tend
I fail, so You had to send
Your one and only gracious Son
Coming like a tidal wave
Rinsing all I h-ave done
~Chorus~
(2X)
(When my footprints are always left behind)
A tidal w-ave
(3X)
