The Current

As recorded by Remember Rome, on Ars Nova Records #AN38, "La Bocca della Veritá"
©2001, Jim L. Papandrea/Space Boys Music (BMI)

Dedicated to the memory of:
John L. Papandrea

Inspired by:
Gospel of Matthew 14:22-33
Parts of the melody are inspired by the Scandinavian folk song "Finlandia"
which is also the tune of the familiar hymn, "Be Still My Soul"
 

We're all in the current
Sometimes the wind blows our destination farther away
When I find I'm in over my head
I call out to the One, the One who walked the waves

Hey take my hand, and walk me to the land
My faith is weak, but my love is strong
Hey take my hand, and walk me to the land
I feel the current's direction is wrong

And if the water should cover you
You'll be cut off from the storm
And if this world of shadows fades to white
You'll feel your hand in a hand that's strong and dry and warm

When you start to sink, and your boat gets blown away
When you're afraid, and you admit you need to be saved
I can only hope you'll call out to the Man
The only one who can lead you to the land

I fear the current's direction is wrong...
