The Rope Lyrics - The Time Has Come - Martina Mcbride

In waters calm I sailed from shore 

To see what I might see 

And having never sailed before 

I drifted aimlessly 

A warm breeze rocked my boat until 

In slumber I fell sound 

But woke to find the light grown dim 

And dark clouds gathering 'round 

In haste I worked at turning back 

But now the wind blew wrong 

And when the night came cold and black 

My strength was almost gone 

But with one last small thread of hope 

I bowed my head to pray 

Then through the dark I saw a rope 

And heard a calm voice say 

Grab the rope, hold it tight 

In the distance shines a light 

Neither fear nor feel alone 

There is One who'll lead you home 

I heard my heart beat loud and fast 

But did as I was told 

And with the rosy dawn at last 

Dry land I did behold 

I kissed the sandy banks and swore 

My sailing days were through 

But should I ever stray from shore 

I know now what to do 

Grab the rope, hold it tight 

In the distance shines a light 

Neither fear nor feel alone 

There is One who'll lead you home 

Grab the rope, hold it tight 

In the distance shines the darkest night 

No need to feel afraid 

No need to feel alone 

The One who knows our way will lead you home
