Crossing Place – Song Lyrics by Lizzie Pridmore
There’s no turning back, your love compels me,
I burnt my boats when I found this shore.
There’s no turning back, your love compels me,
O my Lord, all I have is yours.
Oh the journey was long,
The waves held me up,
cast me down,
Crashed through all that I revered
as I looked on,
And then you came in stillness.
Your word tamed the wind,
Capsized every fear,
drew me on
To the quiet place that waits
deep within,
And there you were beside me.
There’s no turning back, your love compels me,
I burnt my boats when I found this shore.
There’s no turning back, your love compels me,
O my Lord, all I have is yours.
You are here, all around,
Inside me and without.
This crossing-place is home.
Here we stand, on this ground
That you make holy.
This crossing-place is home.
Further on, deeper in,
Further on, deeper in,
Further on, deeper in,
Further on, deeper in.
Lizzie Pridmore, 2016
