 When it's a quarter past midnight
 And the gray skies fade to black,
 the waves splash and set me off track
 So my vessel might crash or collaspse
 When I'm attacked and start wrestling in my head with these bad memories from my past
 I'm aware of my guilt
 Overwhelmed and the smell of my blood has the sharks that surround me cast under a spell
 They waited for me to fall
 But when I fell, the water got still
 And the blood that was spilled protects me
 It's the same blood that cleansed me
 My only defense against my nemesis
 Now I can rest knowing that nothing can come against me unless the father gives consent
 Evil intentions will not disturbed God's purposes or interfere
 So who shall I fear if my anchor is secure?
 Learning to consider it pure joy when I'm facing tribulations
 Praising God instead of complaining and getting overtaken with bitterness
 Looking at the pages of the book of James and seeing the ways that God works through the trials to make us more mature in our faith
 It reminds me how desperate I am in this desert land
 Thirsty for your mercy and plan while you give me the strength to stand
 Your my greatest pleasure
 Yeah, no matter the weather I face Lord you never forsake
 My fragile life is safe under your sovereign grace

 At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony
 And through tragedy, asks himself how can this happen to me?
 You might be the type with enough insight to hold on for your dear life
 But slip because your grip is not as tight as you might like
 You ain't immune to it naw
 And if you true to yourself, then you ain't new to it
 Trusted in self, lusted and lured to it
 So when the darkness overwhelms me
 And the tide of life rises and swells,
 It is well is what compels me
 When faced with adversity,
 Your truth constantly reminds me that you command the seas with ease
 And with words you're turning wind to breeze
 Helps me understand that we stand on solid rock
 Not on sinking sand
 Through the providence of pain you perfect your plan
 Predestined to be tested when the works and words of God cooperate and educate men in the great gift of grace and faith
 And even though it's obvious
 When my outlook's ominous
 You've bound my heart and conscience and gave me a constant calmness
 So when the pain comes like rain from the parts of life that maintain its strain
 I can put my trust in the hands that sustain
 It's profound that with all these sinking ships around me,
 He surrounds me and he anchors me with his grace abounding
