On Oceans of Blue

anywhere but nineveh
why do i travel that road?
i know of the wale
ive been there before
yet i travel the road away from rome
and away from nineveh

i make an effort
to get back on track
sit under a tree
and contemplate the struggles ahead
i make an effort
to be the strong one
to prevail
i fail

away from nineveh
away from rome i go
i dont wanna go on
and i dont wanna go home
why do i travel that road?

all my attempts get lost in a wave
swept by my own foolishness
my own selfishness
eroding the supplies i packed
for nineveh
thats what i get for packing on my own

all my attempts are washed aside
til i cry for help
til i cry for strength
til i cry for You, Lord
why i dont i cry for You, Lord?
now i am crying for You, Lord
not my will but Yours

move my feet towards nineveh, Lord
move my feet towards You
gather my supplies
strengthen my weaknesses
test my strenghts
make me Yours
take me to nineveh
then take me home
