The "Sea" is Full of the Enemy

It covers the earth, the "sea of man" - 
Ruined-red with blood, ruled by Satan.
Out in its waters, people do drown
Some giving up, for truth never found.

Others are out for a mindless joy ride
Treading, or even kicking 
At others going by
While Satan, he churns-up 
The mire within
Lightning flashing, people crashing 
Onto rocks, from his winds

Oh this storm we're hating, 
As the New World we're awaiting 
But we've got Our Rescuer strong.
He sends us out with life-lines 
Of love, truth and hope
And he'll help us help others along.

We're on this earth, can't get off,
So now too, we must swim
With strong hearts and hope,
Let's guide others in
Out of the storm, safe onto shore,
Where true harbor lights shine,
Then swim out, back for more,
To teach them to survive
On joyous waves, to be saved,
By Jah's words, strengthened; then -
To go back out, search for more
Hope-wanting humans.

And those rocks, beneath the waves
Of this sea, what are they
But the stumblers who destroy
Those trying to obey....

And who choose,
Satan's voice, 
Calling, as the "siren"
People to their death
For lies that they desire?
And why, oh why
Won't they hear 
Jah's voice instead -
His own words for life
And the goodness they inspire?

If people choose 
To rebel 
Against Jah,
They do go down.
If they choose
To be evil
Yes indeed,
They can drown
In the sea of man,
Where Satan stands
And taunts.
Yes, it is sin,
So why give in - 
Why give in
Why give in
To what the man-slayer wants?

How much better, to be
Jehovah's friend, and stay free
To preach his truth
To everyone that you can reach -
To stay afloat 
With true hope
Sink not, swim to the top
And ride good waves right onto
The beach
Of peace. 

This work
Is not in vain,
For the love 
Of His name
'Cause it's His will
For all sorts 
Of people
To be saved.
