As our sails unfurled   
in a sea of dark waters,  
our lives, like a ship   
through the night, did embark.  
  
Though trouble and pain  
crashed hard on the bow,  
the light from His Word lifted  
the veil from our hearts.

His spirit within us,  
we glide over waves white  
with foam and stark hissing,  
as the end rises in sight.

We stretch our arms forward,  
hoisting faith firm on the mast,  
with brothers beside us  
as the wind rattles and blasts—

the cold final breaths  
of a world on the edge,  
the new world upon us,  
and joy without end.
