Ready for the Storm Rich Mullins

The waves crash in
The tide rolls out
It's an angry sea
But there is no doubt
That the lighthouse
Will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor

And the lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones
Through the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left
That he can hold
Except a rolling ocean

Oh, I am ready for the storm
Yes, sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

Oh, give me mercy
For my dreams
'Cause every confrontation seems
To tell me
What it really means
To be this lonely sailor
