With no direction or devotion

Tossed about by every wind and wave

           Bb                  F/A
Now we are in the world, not of it

           C7              Dm   Dm/C
And we can surely rise above it

Because the Lord has risen from the grave

Once we were strangers from the promise

We were doubters worse than Thomas

Till the Spirit opened up our eyes

To be his family      eternally
