THE WATERY GRAVE

The waves roll in, they whisper low,

Of souls the restless waters hold,

Each ripple carries names we knew,

In every tide, their memory’s true.

The oceans wide, the lakes so deep,

Still guard the ones we’ve had to weep,

But love remains, it does not fade,

Not even in a watery grave.

(Chorus)

The waves may hide where they now lay,

But love still finds them every day,

No sea’s too deep, no tide too wide,

For God to reach the other side.

I watch the shore, the sunlight gleams,

And think of all those lost between,

The sky above, the depths below,

God sees each soul the waters hold.

No one is lost beyond His sight,

No soul slips past eternal light,

He knows the place where each one lies,

Beneath the waves, beneath the skies.

(Chorus)

He holds their names, He knows their face,

No soul is lost, none misplaced,

So when I see the waters move,

I trust they’re safe in our Father's view.

(Bridge)

So when the waters gently rise,

I see their faces in my mind,

They’re not forgotten, not alone,

God calls them all and brings them home.

(Chorus)

The waves may hide where they now lay,

But love still finds them every day,

No sea’s too deep, no tide too wide,

For God to reach the other side

He holds their names, He knows their face,

No soul is lost, none misplaced,

So when I see the waters move,

I trust they’re safe in our Father's view.

So when I see the waters move,

I trust they’re safe in our Father's view.
