One the Deck of a Spanish Sailing Ship
Lord, we take this journey
To find a promised land
Lord, we take this journey
To find a promised land
And we believe in your power
We believe in your power
We believe in your power
But the end is close, so close at hand
Lord, these men are hungry
There just hasn't been enough
And the journey's been so rough
And Lord, these men are hurting
They implore me to go back, as the planks beneath them crack
And I know it's my responsibility
But I'm starving too and I hurt I do, and I'm lost
I believe in my responsibility
But I need to see if the fruits will be worth the cost
So I'm begging you, Lord, you gotta
Stop. Take a look
At your children who believe in this promised land.
Have mercy, Lord
Stop their suffering and their woe.
Whoa, whoa
Stop. Shine your light
On these children who have faith in your guiding hand.
I'm just begging you Lord, 'cause there's no place else to go
I am unworthy, Lord
Lord, this ship is crowded
And the men are tired and worn,
But another baby's born
And Lord, this ship is broken
And the sails are ripped and old
But the winds are rough and cold
And I know it's my responsibility
When I ride the sea, these men turn to me for a sign
And I believe in my responsibility
But I can't be sure if it's time for your light to shine
So I'm begging you, Lord to make it
Stop. Take a look
At your children who believe in this promised land
Have mercy, Lord
Give a sign to let us know
Whoa, Whoa
Stop. Shine your light
On these children who have faith in your guiding hand
I'm just begging you, Lord, 'cause there's no place else to go(Lord)
Save this child. I am not strong enough. I am not strong enough
Lord, save my soul. I am unworthy
Lord, take my hand. I am not strong enough. I am not strong enough.
Lord, take my heart. I am unworthy.
Lord, give me hope. I am not strong enough. I am not strong enough.
Lord, give me life. I am unworthy. I am unworthy.
Stop. Take a look at the children,
at the children who believes in this promised land
You gotta have mercy, Lord. Have mercy,
Lord. Give us strength so that we can grow.
Stop. Shine your light on these children
who have faith in faith in divine command.
I'm just begging you Lord. I'm just begging you Lord.
I know I am unworthy, but there's no place else to go.
A new world calls across ocean
A new world calls the ocean
A new world calls across the sky
To find a promised land
Lord, we take this journey
To find a promised land
And we believe in your power
We believe in your power
We believe in your power
But the end is close, so close at hand
Lord, these men are hungry
There just hasn't been enough
And the journey's been so rough
And Lord, these men are hurting
They implore me to go back, as the planks beneath them crack
And I know it's my responsibility
But I'm starving too and I hurt I do, and I'm lost

Have mercy, Lord
Stop their suffering and their woe.
Whoa, whoa

A new world calls across ocean
A new world calls the ocean
A new world calls across the sky
