Into still and inky waters –
under pitch black skies,
I row.
There is a light beyond this darkness –
I can feel it in my soul.
It’s a mystery that calls me –
with every prayer,
I row.
Deeper and further away from the shore-
I lose sight of everything I’ve known,
and still I row.
The brilliant stars above me
reflect the twinkle in my soul –
into uncharted adventure,
God gives me strength to row.
I can’t see where I’m going,
but deep down I think I know.
In the depths of my spirit-
grace allows me to behold.
There is light beyond this darkness-
a radiance worth more.
With every stroke into the silky silence,
I let go.
With every glance at the wonder of it all,
I know.
With every prayer,
I row.
