Lyrics:

[CHORUS]
We are not made for the harbour
We are made for the sea
Though at times it’s wild and cold and dark
It’s where we’re meant to be
You launch us out as a Father
Though we may be tossed about
But your presence in the storm
It walls us in and calls us out

[VERSE 1]
You left the safe port of heaven
For the elements of earth
This God at risk, exposed
Your lift our eyes to horizons
Where that heaven brushes earth
So this worn world is transformed

[VERSE 2]
You send us out to the market
Send us out to the field
Jesus’ hope ambassadors
We take no purse for the journey
But take your authority
To declare that all is yours

[VERSE 3]
Out to the office, leaving his mark
Out to the factory, his Spirit the spark
Out to the school gates, and out to the bars
May we risk what was never ours
