Standing on the shoreline, looking out to sea
At oceans of Your hopes for me, just beyond my reach
I've been here on this island for way too many years
A prisoner of my comfort, a slave to my own fear
Doubt is saying got to stay, faith is saying sail away
I know it's safe here on the shore
But freedom is worth dying for
Liberation comes to those
Who hear the truth and sail with You
I'll go where You are calling me
I'll be what You meant me to be
I know the risk is real, but I wanna feel
The freedom of the sea
With eyes to the horizon, mist against my face
I'll leave behind this island in Your abounding grace
With Your word as my compass I'll chase my destiny
For I know the words of Your will can set my spirit free
Doubt is saying got to stay, faith is saying sail away
I know it's safe here on the shore
But freedom is worth dying for
Liberation comes to those
Who hear the truth and sail with You
I'll go where You are calling me
I'll be what You meant me to be
I know the risk is real, but I wanna feel
The freedom of the sea
Doubt is saying got to stay
But I'm taking up the anchor
Faith is saying sail away
And I'm heading for the deep
I know it's safe here on the shore
But freedom is worth dying for
Liberation comes to those
Who hear the truth and sail with You
I'll go where You are calling me
I'll be what You meant me to be
I know the risk is real, but I wanna feel
The freedom of the sea
The freedom of the sea
The freedom of the sea
