Eternal Throne

Floating along offering songs with peace
Strumming my guitar looking at the stars; not an ounce of grief or worry

The moon gets tucked in by dark clouds and a cold wind
Then Orion’s gone, and my songs…
Begin to fade
Darkness invades
Fierce gusts turn the pages of my mind
A dozen in a second’s time

Jesus, how are you asleep
‘Cause I’m about to freak… out
Thumping waves pound
Tumbling around like a little rag doll
Scratching and grabbing for ground
But there’s none to be found
The only sound
My heartbeat
A pulsating death scream
Jesus, wake up please!
Unless our destiny’s to be
The bottom of this sea

Jesus, the floods have lifted up
Lifted their voice
Lifted their pounding waves
Jesus, where’s your grace
Is there any way
I can be saved
Jesus, if your head stays on that pillow
My wife will be a widow
In a couple of minutes

Where’s your faith?
Be amazed!
Can I save?
Quiet waves!

Though to you I seem asleep
Still the earth submits to me
No matter how you feel
I am always King of everything
My throne is from eternity
