This song is part of my 2010 album, In Rewind. It is an entry from my musical journal. This song was inspired by the tale by C. S. Lewis, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. My favorite part of that whole story is the very end when the little mouse falls overboard to taste the sea water, which has turned sweet. The ship's crew then know they have reached the farthest edge of the world and have come to Aslan's country. Their enthusiasm and their excitement is contagious. Their constant desire to reach the home of their great King is what drives them on to the edge of the world - and beyond! That is what I want - a heart, a passion, to reach heaven where my King reigns. And I want to sail through whatever waters I must to reach Him.
From the beginning there seemed to be
An ever growing desire deep inside of me
When the current took me to lands I've never been
There a voice was calling 'Journey to the end'
And my eyes keep looking further beyond the rising sun
I'll keep sailing
Let the winds blow me on
When the air is still I'll put my oar in
And keep rowing
'Til I reach that blissful calm
Where the water's sweet as honey
And still further I'll sail on
And when I come to the very end
He'll be waiting for me
Mighty as a lion
Gentle as a lamb
Breathe on me
Take my hand
And guide me to the land to where I'm
Sailing
Let the winds blow me on
When the air is still I'll put my oar in
And keep rowing
'Til I reach that blissful calm
Where the water's sweet as honey
And still further I'll sail on
And when I come to the very end
He'll be waiting for me
