1 DRIFTING ON LIFE'S TROUBLED SEA THE SHORE BEHIND FADES FAR FROM ME.
TRIALS SEEM TO OVERTAKE ME ON EACH HAND.
AIMLESSLY MY VESSEL'S TOSSED, NOT ESCAPING HARM OR LOSS,
NEVER KNOWING IF I'M ABLE TO WITHSTAND.

2 IN THE DISTANCE NOW APPEARS, I CAN SEE HIM THRU MY TEARS
THE ONE WHO STANDS AND WAITS UPON THE SHORE.
A HAVEN HE'S PREPARED, I'VE A LONGING TO GO THERE
WHERE I KNOW I'LL REST WITH HIM FOREVERMORE.


CHORUS
BEHOLD THE LAND, BEHOLD THE LAND,
THO TREADING STORM-TOSSED WATERS, GOD COMMANDS.
AS THE WAVES AROUND YOU ROLL, AND THE BATTLE TAKES ITS TOLL,
KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL, BEHOLD THE LAND.

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
AS THE WAVES AROUND YOU ROLL, AND THE BATTLE TAKES ITS TOLL,
KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL, KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL,
KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL - BEHOLD THE LAND.
