Serve God, Love me, and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised, we are friends
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Sigh no more, no more
One foot on sea, one on shore
my heart was never pure
you know me, you know me
but man is a giddy thing
oh man is a giddy thing
oh man is a giddy thing
oh man is a giddy thing
Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you
It will set you free, be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design an alignment, a cry of my heart to see
The beauty of Love, as it was made to be
This song is written in the perspective of a Christian who is struggling with giving everything to God. One foot in sea, one on shore. We love the idea that we can give all of our anxieties and worries to Christ, but do we ever fully do just that? As humans, we are prone to think that we can handle everything on our own, and that it will all be OK in the end, yet it never ends up that way. We screw something up and then ask for forgiveness and guidance.... over and over again. The end of that stanza hits me every time, he knows me. There's nothing that he doesn't know already. I can't surprise him, I can't deceive him. He knows my heart better that I do. Although I may doubt my faith, my worth, or my success on a daily basis... he never does. He knows my potential.
