Alone on the beach, just watching the tides
Feeling the spray on my face as I talk to Jesus
Seeking His forgiveness, as sin HE won't abide
Sometimes I feel my life is falling to pieces.

But His forgiveness is quick and my soul HE calms
Spending time alone with Him on the beach
I feel at peace reading my favorite psalms
Knowing in my heart He is always within my reach.

One can find and talk to God anywhere, that's true
All you have to do is seek Him and He'll be there
whether it's a busy street, home or at church in a pew
Just call out to Him; for you He cares.

But for me, it always seems best
When its just Him and I amid His beautiful creation
In the forest or alone on the beach, I feel at rest
Just Him and I and nature...what a beautiful sensation.

I cry out to Him with all my doubts and ask Him all my whys
sometimes I feel that no matter what I do, I fail
Then he reminds me about all of satan's lies
Continue the good fight of faith and do not pale.

Afterwards I come away and my spirit is renewed and refreshed
This time is special, is needed and you, I hereby beseech
When life is closing in on you and on all sides you feel pressed
Cry out to the Lord, alone on the beach.
