In the midst of the raging sea,
There I was sailing.
The waves were pounding me,
Making me afraid.
(And it seems That Christ has left me,) x2
(But I no longer see him because of my weak faith) x2

Refrain:
Jesus when he saw me,
Came to me quickly.
In my despair and darkness,
He opened my eyes.
(When I saw him, I cried have mercy) x2
(He came to me quickly and had mercy on me) x2

The sounds of the angry waves,
Agonized my ears.
Darkness of the creeping night,
Has threatened my peace.
(And the tears, have not left my eyes)x2
(And the sleepless nights, have overwhelmed me) x2

I was in despair and drowning,
And my hope is torn.
I came to my beloved Jesus,
Offering him my tears.
(When he saw me, He had compassion on me) x2
(He stretched out his sweet hand, and dried my tears) x2

In the Midst of the Raging Sea

Chorus:
The Lord is near to those who call on Him
He is not far as we have made Him 		
He’s not a stranger to all our sufferings
He said “come now hurry all you weary”
To give them rest from burdens too heavy  
To wipe a tear from all hearts in misery

V1:
Sojourner and no place to stay
Abandoned, doubted and friends betrayed 	
Yet He arose to grant the way 
to eternity
A friend to the tax collectors, 
A comfort for the adulterers,
An advocate for the sinners 
Of whom I am chief

V2:
He guided all those questioning, 
goodness on earth He was spreading, 	
He tasted death while bearing 
The shame of sinners 
His night of death, prayed earnestly
Father willing, take this from Me
Sweat drops of blood from agony
All for my sake

V3: 
When I was thirsty He quenched me 
When I was naked He clothed me
When abandoned He sheltered me 
From all my fears 				
So how can I not be trusting
His love I'll never be doubting 
A Father who is so loving 
Even to death

You will support me 
in times of tribulation

No Dont Leave Me Alone - Arsany

Lyrics:

Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading 

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator Of Love

A stranger I lived in the world, 
A foreigner like my forefathers.
A pilgrim in my attitude, 
In my thoughts and my desires. 
A stranger, I have no one to, 
Unload on him, my thoughts so true

The people do not like my roots
Nor do they understand my end
In craze arise the multitude
In maddening noise without an end
And I remain in solitude, 
Serenity in my heart felt
A stranger, I can find no home,
Nor a corner to rest alone. 


I cast away the world's pleasures, 
Ignoring her callings to me
I went, I dragged away my things, 
Away from their merry-makings
My heart silent indifferent 
To all they think is important
My listening will never yield
To loud and worldly conversing

I wander off all  on my own
So happy to be in the vast
With my timbrel and my cymbal
And melodies of praise I sing
And now comes the holy moment
In which I retreat with my King
I roam about as a spirit
Invisible to on- lookers
The world alien I am to it
A foreigner like my forefathers

My existence is a triumph
No wealth ,power to disturb me
No house is here to delay me
Nor any friend or family
And with me are sweet verses
And great proverbs to console me

The bible here my only lamp
And nothing else to concern me

I do not know of any fear
Nor any bonds that hinder me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me
I say to every enemy
Who only wants to seduce me

Be aware that now i'am alive
I stranger as were my fathers
