A night without armor

My idea's rejected, my thoughts denied

no armor left protect my inside

I am on an island, not alone

the island is my life, the sea, the world outside

Christ gives me all the life I need

My strength, my will, my drive

my island suits my life you see

with such a varied terrain

cold snow upon the mountains

the rain upon the plain

other islands in the distance

do I dare to travel there,

for the lagoon is filled with sharks

and the coral my heart will tear

so I sit upon the sandy shore,

look back at my island there

all I need is before me

but I search for so much more

so I gather all I need here

for the journey may be far,

store meat in God's word,

store water in a jar

we build a raft together

the new man that lives in me

we'll journey out upon the waves

and with him, the world to see
