Sailboat

I don't usually post the lyrics to an entire song, but this song just sticks in my head. It speaks to me in a way that another song hasn't. I don't know what stage of life I'm in. I don't know how or when I'll get out of it. I do know that I feel lost and alone and scared. I do know that even though I'm far from Him, and I don't necessarily feel Him, God knows where I am right now. So here it is, Sailboat by Ben Rector.

I feel just like a sailboat
I don't know where I'm headed
But you can't make the wind blow
From a sailboat

I have seen the sun
Felt the rain on my skin
I've been lost and found
But mostly I've been waiting

Oh I'm out in the waves
I'm hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
Night after night there's an empty horizon
And my God do I feel so alone
Sometimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat

I'm pretty sure I'm heard
At least I know I'm speaking
But I feel like a fool
Cause I can't hear you listening

But I'm not giving up
Oh I will move on forward
I'm gonna raise my sail
God knows what I'm headed towards

Oh I'm out in the waves
I'm hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
Night after night there's an empty horizon
And my God do I feel so alone
Sometimes life, and most times I, feel just like a sailboat

The only change I see
Lost or found, let's see
The only difference is believing I'll make it in

Oh I'm out in the waves
I'm hoping and praying
Please let this wind blow me home
Night after night there's an empty horizon
My God, do I feel so alone
Sometimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat
