Mike Renneker - Souls On Board Lyrics

Windows are broken, years of rust on the doors
The rudder is damaged and we're headed off course
L cracks in the hull are deep
And the water's pouring in

It's listing and drifting and the warning bells ring
This compromised vessel is beginning to sink
Untethered and adrift in this squall
With the waves and the window

Behold the blue ship moving through space
With a passenger list of hearts who need grace
Late December came Jesus the Lord
Who arrived in time to save
All the souls on board

We are not predestined, every moment's a choice
His love is the same if we fail or rejoice
The Creator writes His law in our hearts
But we're free to disobey

Now we're sailing on seas with no sense of direction
We're given all the hints but we don't make the connection
All the while drifting farther and farther away

Behold the blue ship moving through space
With a passenger list of hearts who need grace
Late December came Jesus the Lord
Who arrived in time to save
All the souls on board

The chasm between who we are and what we should be
Is as deep and wide and as far as infiniti
We can never bridge that gap under our own power
And that's why this Child was born in that dark hour
In Bethlehem at that dark hour

Behold the blue ship moving through space
With a passenger list of hearts who need grace
Late December came Jesus the Lord
Who arrived in time to save
All the souls on board
