The Orphan Lyrics - Devotion - Newsboys

maybe I push when I'm meant to be still 

maybe I take it all to personal 

Jesus, how to reconcile 

the joyful noise 

the ancient land 

the tug from some invisible hand 

the dying mother weaving bulrushes 

along the Nile 

Chorus 

float her basket over the sea 

here on a barren shore 

we'll be waiting for 

a tailwind to carry her (an) orphan's cry 

don't you worry, child 

I wrote a lullaby

I try to settle, but I just pass through 

a rain dog, gypsy 

a wandering Jew 

all those homes were not ours 

then I slept one night 

in Abraham's field 

and dreamt there was no moon 

the night he died 

counting stars 

Selah 

- Chorus - 

Bridge 

building you a home 

building you a home 

building you a home 

we're building you a home 

Selah

- Chorus - 

float her basket over the sea 

here on a barren shore 

we'll be waiting for 

a tailwind to bring us your sweet cry 

don't you worry, child 

I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
