U.S. Marine Corps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Joy comes in the morning
Although it's dark I know it
To be true I need you to show up again
How long must I wrestle
With my thoughts help me settle
Knowing your working it out for my good
It's true that you have always been there
For me in my despair
For you give hope when hope's losing flare
It's true you've always been there
This pain won't last forever
One day you'll make it better
Patiently waiting I trust in you Lord
Keep me in your prayers
Fill me with your favor
Rest in your presence I trust in you Lord
It's true that you have always been there
For me in my despair
For you give hope when hope's losing flare
It's true you've always been there
You've already grabbed my hand and saved me
I'm on your boat but it's been rocking lately
Waves broke over Lord can you do something
Don't you care if I drown Lord I'm struggling
Calm your mind I never said to worry
You can't control the storms that work is for me
Where's your faith in me I won't forsake you
Don't you doubt me I'll always protect you
You've already grabbed my hand and saved me
I'm on your boat but it's been rocking lately
Waves broke over Lord can you do something
Don't you care if I drown Lord I'm struggling
Calm your mind I never said to worry
You can't control the storms that work is for me




Where's your faith in me I won't forsake you
Don't you doubt me I'll always protect you
