» Out of the Whirlwind



Like a ship without a harbor


I've been wandering the sea 


For the Lord has sent a hurricane to hover over me


Out of the whirlwind


Out of the whirlwind


To bring me to my knees


 


And I've been searching that horizon


For a tiny piece of land


For the Lord can raise tornadoes with a gesture of his hand


Out of the whirlwind


Out of the whirlwind


Lord I'm just a man


 


I've been stripped of my possessions


So I've only my humanity to trade


And I move without direction


Just to rise above this wreckage that I made


From out of the whirlwind


Now I hear the ocean howling


And I watch the darkness roll


For the Lord has set a tempest in the center of my soul


Out of the whirlwind


Out of the whirlwind


And I've got no control


 


More sinned against than sinning


I've been lost since the beginning of my days


Don't know if I've been winning 


Or just going through the motions in a haze


Out of the whirlwind


 


So won't you show a little mercy


For a man condemned to roam


Let me lay this broken body on a bed of sand and foam


Out of the whirlwind


Out of the whirlwind


Wont you take me home?


 


And out of the whirlwind


Out of the whirlwind
