"Shipwreck"

Lately I've been singing this song a lot to God in my time with Him. What a beautiful song of dependency, brokenness, and humility.

I built a fortress

With a hundred thousand faces
I'll keep it safe
With a hundred thousand more
But these masks are wearing thin
As You draw me in

I spent my time
On the empty and the fleeting
I spent my life
On much less than I'd dreamed
But I'm reaching out to you

To make me new


'Cause I am just a beggar here at Your door
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore
I come empty handed
Ready to see
Your life in me changing who I've been
To who I need to be


You tell me my story
As You sift between the pages

I feel redemption
In the space between each turn

Could You take me in Your arms
And tell it just once more
Could You take me in Your arms
And tell it just once more

Song written by Starfield
