Breathe me home across the sea

Let me know You go with me

Fill my sails with gales of faith

Please guide my way

I am Yours from stern to bow

Charted course, a sacred vow

Winds of change, adventure bring

My soul will sing

Sailing onward

In Your wind, Lord

Spirit, breathe me where You will me be

New beginnings, journeys ending

On I’ll sail until You breathe me home

Raise the mast of ministry

A cross to claim Your people free

Fill my sails with gales of grace

To give away

I am joyful and amazed

Miracles abound in waves

Winds of change, fulfillment bring

My soul will sing

Sailing onward

In Your wind, Lord

Spirit, breathe me where You will me be

New beginnings, journeys ending

On I’ll sail until You breathe me home

Draw my keel along life’s breadth

Let me fathom mercy’s depth

Fill my sails with gales of hope

Hold me afloat

I am tired and tempest-tossed

Yet Your love won’t leave me lost

Winds of change, my solace bring

My soul will sing

Sailing onward

In Your wind, Lord

Spirit, breathe me where You will me be

New beginnings, journeys ending

On I’ll sail until You breathe me home
