The Greater Tide

I hear a memory upon the wind
A song of long forgotten men
Who lost their lives beneath the tide
And woke up on the other side

[Chorus]
Come hear the tale and stand amazed
Of those who rest beneath the waves
Their minds were set
Their hearts were brave
They kept their promise to
The grave

Some faced the sword
Some faced the rack
Some burned alive inside the flames
But heroes all
Both great and small
'Cause they proved their faith was not in vain

[Chorus]
So come hear the tale and stand amazed
Of those who rest beneath the waves
Their minds were free
Their hearts were brave
They kept their promise to
The grave

[Instrumental]

Those humble men
Those children dear
Beneath the crushing wave they cried
Oh, that saving name
Of Him who comes
Bringing forth a greater tide

[Chorus]
Come hear the tale and stand amazed
Of those who rest beneath the waves
Their minds were free
Their hearts were brave
They kept their promise to
The grave

[Chorus]
So come hear the tale and stand amazed
At those who dance upon the waves
Their minds are free
Their hearts are safe
Upon that sea beyond
The grave

Their minds are new
Their hearts are safe
Upon that sea beyond
The grave
