Coming Clean Lyrics

These waves are waking me.
New life is breaking through.
Here in the wake of me i find i'm in the wake of You.
I give the life i cannot keep to gain the life i cannot lose.
Currents of Mercy speak a word i can't refuse.
Coming clean – it's not an easy escape.
But it won't be a mistake.
I'm so sick of building my life on only boards and nails.
For what is man upon the Sea but a torn and ragged sail?
I had one thing left to say when all other words had failed.

God, my God, have mercy!
I cast myself into the gale.
Coming clean – it's not an easy escape.
But I can see the Sea would have me either way.
Coming clean – i'm bleeding but I'm being remade.
Like every seed new life begins within the grave.
Your waves are breaking these walls i built in my pride.
Your grace is shaking this wretched mast i call my life.
You wash my world away.
Wash my world away.
Wash my world away.
It's a splinter in Your side.
Coming clean – it's not an easy escape.
But i can see the pain is worth the price that i pay.
Coming clean – i'm bleeding but i'm being remade.
Here in the Sea the worst of me is fading away.
