Lyrics

[00:17.51] The water is deep and the river wide
[00:23.38] My face to the wind against the tide
[00:25.62]
[00:29.05] This boat is small and the night is black
[00:32.05] The storm is raging but I won't turn
[00:34.30]
[00:35.17] Back to the shallows where I ran aground
[00:37.23]
[00:40.47] In the muck, in the mire of the shame and doubt
[00:43.47]
[00:46.59] And all the lies that they ever told
[00:48.89]
[00:52.32] I'll be damned if the devil's gonna sink my soul
[00:55.32]
[00:58.01] I'm getting close, closer
[01:01.88]
[01:04.06] I can almost touch the north star
[01:07.43]
[01:09.55] I'm getting close, closer
[01:13.67]
[01:15.60] This little boat's the hand of God
[01:19.47]
[01:24.78] The water is deep and the river wide
[01:26.84]
[01:30.15] There's a porch light burning on the other side
[01:33.09]
[01:36.02] I can hear my name sung sweet and low
[01:38.70]
[01:39.33] The voice of my mother calling me home
[01:42.39] Beyond the limits of my mortal mind
[01:44.83] Where grace abounds and love is blind
[01:50.31]
[01:53.94] These old bones are gonna disappear
[01:56.24]
[01:59.67] With the hate, the worry and all my fear
[02:02.79]
[02:05.35] I'm getting close, closer
[02:09.54]
[02:11.22] I can almost touch the north star
[02:15.34]
[02:17.46] I'm getting close, closer
[02:20.95]
[02:22.78] This little boat's the hand of God
[02:27.33]
[02:46.30] I'm getting close, closer
[02:50.67]
[02:52.23] I can almost touch the north star
[02:56.28]
[02:58.41] I'm getting close, closer
[03:01.28]
[03:03.96] This little boat's the hand of God
[03:07.59]
[03:09.78] This little boat's the hand of God
