Mark Hanna writes: Above the tempest sea

How can we ever become secure
Knowing how limited we can endure
Greatness and majesty like no other
Majesty which makes our minds wither
He loved us before we ever did
He also loved us despite our sin
By death he came and trampled death
Through death he gave us a new breath
One night I sat and sought to gaze
Towards the stars my heart was raised
The clouds were Grey and very thick
Rain was falling like heavy brick
I sought to see but could not see
I sought to feel but could not feel
The mist was heavy and the night long
I wondered whether I’ll ever belong
I longed for the stars and their beautiful light
But all I found was a dark night
In despair I thought to sleep
Perhaps I might see them in a dream
I closed the blinds and darkness spread
Light was absent and fear set
As I slept through the long night
I dreamed of regaining my poor sight
During the day I was able to see
Light and colour but none was real
Another night was now at sight
I thought tonight I would see the light
But In despair I thought to sleep
Perhaps I might see them in a dream
The sun arose the following day
The world was filled with a bright ray
That day I walked and walked and walked
Seeking to be where I belonged
As evening set I had to cease
My mind was now a bit at ease
I found a mountain like no other
The mountain was bright with many colours
I set my bag and sat in silence
Seeking the heavens away from violence
The world was loud and often cold
Day by day my life rolled
As I sat on top of the world
I sought freedom through his word
As night time came I could now feel
Joy and majesty that felt so real
As the mist began to seek my heart
I hoped my cry would be heard
As darkness set I cried in fear
Lord have mercy on your dear
Darkness was now everywhere
I cried with hope in my despair
A star I thought my eyes could see
Rising afar above the sea
Little by little I could now see
Wonder and majesty above the sea
I prayed for my spirit to be released
My mind was now at great ease
A beautiful dove was now free
Flying freely above the sea
The dove was singing a beautiful tune

While at night it stared towards the moon
Morning came and in my room
I rose in hope the flower blooms
Every night thereafter I sat in wonder
Gazing at the stars as my heart wonders
How Great is he the one who sought
The broken dove which never fought
In darkness I lived and could not see
But he came for me and I could now feel
He loved us before we ever did
He also loves us despite our sins
The broken dove is now free
Singing a melody above the sea
