a tale of rescue by davis john patton
genre: christian folk
i am stranded
on a beach that i've always known
i have fallen
in love with this curse
though i know it's not home

so i call out for rescue
and i worked down to bone
just searching for something
no, anything
to get me back home

i am doubtful
of a sail that could capture the wind
but i am speechless
the boat is open to let a doubter step in

and now the sail is my rescue
and i rest down below
wind so strong it could kill me
but it carries me home

la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la
carries me home
oh, it carries me home

i am buried
on the beach where i first began
i live by the water
it soon will wash over the sand

the sail was my rescue
and i rest down below
wind so strong it could kill me
but it carries me home
