“The Tide is Coming”

Lyrics

Comin'
The tide is comin'
Gonna carry off both you and me
Onward comes the rushing sea
Rolling on relentlessly
Sweepin' us into eternity

O man
Foolish man
Can't you see your life is just a grain of sand?
On the beach of time you'll stay a moment, then be washed away
Into the ocean of eternity

The tide is rollin' onward
Are you thinkin' of your soul?
You'll be helpless in that ocean
No delusions of control
We're not on this beach for long
Don't join the loud and careless throng
Who throw away their chances till they're gone

But the Creator of the sand
Has a purpose, has a plan
Cry out to Him now while you still can
Each little grain He loved and made
He only wants to see it saved
Rescued from a deep and endless grave

O man
Foolish man
Can't you see your life is just a grain of sand?
On the beach of time you'll stay a moment, then be washed away
Into the ocean of eternity

Comin'
The tide is comin'
Gonna carry off both you and me
Onward comes the rushing sea
Rolling on relentlessly
Sweepin' us into eternity
