I needed wisdom on a matter of faith, so I sought the Lord at his dwelling place,
Well, hello, is there anyone home'
He said, "Let him who comes to me ask believing, 'cause faith is revealing but doubt is deceiving, you know; don't you know'"
But I couldn't seem to stand my ground, I floundered, flailed and almost drowned,
And as I sank I thought I heard a sound.

Wind and wave, to and fro,
Back and forth, stop and go,
Lost in doubt - am I out or am I safe'
Fire and ice, land and sea,
It's up to you, it's down to me,
Will I be eternally weak in faith on the wind and a wave'

A voice inside me said, "You're on your own, you blew it once too often, now he's left you alone,"
Well, oh no, please say it isn't so,
So I clung to my feelings, forgot the facts 'til I heard the voice of Jesus telling me to relax: "Let go, I'll take control."
It was tough at first but I obeyed,
I just went limp and then I prayed, "Please, Jesus, save me from this open grave,"
Ah.

Wind and wave, to and fro,
Back and forth, stop and go,
Lost in doubt - am I out or am I safe'
Fire and ice, land and sea,
It's up to you, it's down to me,
Will I be eternally weak in faith'

Now, I'm not saying that I will never doubt again, 'cause after all I'm just a man, yeah, yeah,
All I know is if I doubt again he'll understand,
He understands.

I will never leave you, nor forsake you,
I will always be with you,
I will never leave you, nor forsake you,
I will always be with you.

Wind and wave, to and fro,
Back and forth, stop and go,
Lost in doubt - am I out or am I safe'
Fire and ice, land and sea,
It's up to you, it's down to me,
Will I be eternally weak in faith'

Wind and wave,
Wind and wave,
Wind and wave,
Wind and wave,
Wind and wave,
Wind and wave,
Wind and wave.
