    Lyrics

    Row To the Other Side
    Mt 8:18, Mk 4:35 and 6: 30-32
    Lk 8:22, John 21: 1-19

    They’re like sheep without a shepherd
    And love them as my own
    But their needs, well, they are legion
    And I’m just one world weary soul
    They press in around me
    the four walls of a cell
    It’s exhausting my compassion
    and I can tell
    It’s time to
    Row to the other side of the lake
    I’ve given all I have, I’ve had all I can take
    And I know, when the wind begins to die
    It’s time to go. It’s time to row
    to the other side

    I guess I thought it was noble
    To think the kingdom depends on me
    But that was hubris, and I was foolish
    To try to give what I have not received
    Without your Spirit
    To fill up my sails
    All my good intentions
    are bound to fail
    And so I…CHORUS
    There’s a figure, strangely familiar
    Calling to me, from the shore
    I smell breakfast on the charcoals
    And I hear your voice once more
    Say to… CHORUS
