The Sea and Me 03:49
lyrics

words and music by Wade Baynham We've all listened to the tales of those we've lost at sea The shipwrecked, scattered, lost and drowned The ones we never found So I built my house with my own hands On the rocks that I could see My house was strong, the wind and waves Couldn't wash my life away- take it from me We lived apart, the sea and me, to keep my fears at bay I tried to stay on that solid ground, on a world I built for me But life and change both came to me, in ways I could never see The water lapped at my door There was no way out, nowhere for me to flee Water rises past the rocks and washes over me The fight is gone, the sky is gone I know that I will drown But my feet, they find the bottom And I find that I can breathe There's a freedom under water I find you're here with me You're here in we My feet they find the bottom and I find that I can breathe There's a freedom under water And I find you're here with me You're here in we

words and music from an old Irish hymn from the 8th century and the traditional Irish folk tune "Slane" Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart Not be all else to me, save that Thy art Be Thou my meditation by day or by night Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word Be Thou with me, Be I with Thee Be Thou my Father, Be I Thy true one Will Thou be mine, and I will be Thine Be Thou every good to my body and soul Be Thou my kingdom in heaven as on earth Be Thou solely, chief love of my heart Let there be none other, oh Lord of all 'Til I am able to pass to Thy hands My treasure, my Beloved, by the greatness of Thy love Be Thou alone, my wondrous estate I seek not lifeless wealth, nor man's empty praise High King of Heaven, may I find life through death May I reach heaven's joys, Oh bright heaven's son Christ of mine own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, Oh Ruler of All Still be my vision, Oh Ruler of All

Never Alone 04:48
lyrics

words and music by Wade Baynham You're not alone, never alone We're not alone, no need to fear The feelings so overwhelming, the evidence so undeniable How can you stand there and tell me How can you even believe You're not alone, we're never alone We're not alone, there's no need to fear This life, this deeper meaning, so flimsy so hard to detect If it's light it's too bright to see If it's solid ground, it's a rock to big for me You're not alone, we're never alone We're not alone, there's no need to fear My bones ache, my heart cries out My mouth is dust, my tears and endless stream Surrender, are you crazy This yearning this pain, think I might lose my mind Might lose my mind. You're not alone, no never alone We're not alone, no never alone The rains come and the storms pound And the lightning strikes and the tree limbs do break I'm so small against it all, nothing in the face of this, Nothing, oh God nothing I can't face this again. We've never left you, loved you since before you were born Since before time we loved you, have known your pain Deeper than you've known it yourself We've known where you will break We've known where you'll fall We've known how you'll heal We know how you'll rise We know you'll love, we know you We are you, we are enough Enough And you're not alone, never alone We're not alone, there's no need to fear We're not alone, we're not alone Never alone, we're not alone There's no need to fear

about

I've really enjoyed recording music over the past 30-plus years. I can't honestly believe it's been that long... As I've been reflecting on releasing "Never Alone," it's been very clear to me that I've needed way more than 'a little help from my friends' along the way. I'm so grateful for all that I've been given along the way to make this possible, including love, friendship, time, inspiration, money, vision and endurance.

The truth is, I haven't remotely been alone in the process, despite periods of feeling very alone, and having many solitary hours playing and singing in the studio. As I share with friends about their experiences of being alone and feeling alone, we've found a lot of common ground. The pain of feeling alone is very real, and extremely powerful. The sharing of common experiences, and the help and hope that we've also found along the way have been nothing short of profound and life-altering for me.

I've lived with fears of abandonment for as long as I can remember. Along this journey, I've been trying to learn to live with open hands-- open to life, open to love, open to the presence of God, through all the ways God is continuously revealed to me. I'm learning that presence is no small thing; and my hope is that this collection of songs reflects some of the ways that I've been met and found and known. If this project gives you any encouragement and hope in your life, then I'm all the more grateful.
