I keep coming back to this video. It’s honestly my favorite choral performance I’ve ever seen and it gives me goosebumps every time.

I could watch and listen to the Coastal Sound Youth Choir all day - I love their harmonies under the guidance of Carrie Tennant. I love the way this song has been arranged.

Absolutely outstanding! Carrie Tennant is a genius.

Capsized right away
Went down by the waves
Don't say we are so far away
I know that anyway, try to breathe
Cold winds blew away
All thing float away
Don't say God is so far away
I know that anyway, try to stay
Don't leave sight of me
Don't fight to the deed
Don't say home is so far away
That won't get you saved, hold to me
That won't get you saved, hold to me
That won't get you saved, hold to me
Hold on to my bare hand
Always I'll be your man
Hold on to my bare hand
Again we both shall stand
Hold on and swim to land
All this will come to pass
Hold on your slipping fast
Your lips my one demand
Hold on my night
Always I'll be your man
Hold on and swim to land
Again we both shall stand
Hold on to my bare hand
Always I'll be your man
Hold on your slipping fast
Your lips my one demand
Hold on and don't look back
Your ship has come at last

LYRICS
Capsized by a wave / brought down by the reef
Don’t say, “Home is so far away!”
it won’t help anyway / try to breathe!

Cold winds blow away / all things closing in
Don’t say, “God is so far away!”
He won’t help anyway / try to stay

Don’t lose sight of me / don’t fall into the deep
Don’t say, “hope is so far away!”
that won’t get you saved / hold to me
that won’t get you saved / hold to me
that won’t get you saved / hold to me

Hold on to my bare hand
Always I’ll be your man
Hold on to my bare hand
Again we both shall stand

Hold on you’re slipping fast (I’ll save you and bring you home)
All this will come to pass (don’t leave me all alone)
Hold on and swim to land (the water’s as cold as stone)
You’ll live, my one demand (the grey is turning gold)

Hold on to my bare hand
Always I’ll be your man
Hold on to my bare hand
Again we both shall stand

Hold on you’re slipping fast (I’ll save you and bring you home)
All this will come to pass (don’t leave me all alone)
Hold on and don’t look back (the water’s as cold as stone)
Your ship has come at last (the grey is turning gold)
