Burn The Ships
Lyricist:Steven Curtis Chapman, James Isaac Elliott
In the spring of 1519 a Spanish fleet set sail Cortez told his sailors this mission must not fail On the eastern shore of Mexico they landed with great dreams But the hardships of the new world make them restless and weak Quietly they whispered, 'Let's sail back to the life we knew' But the one who led them there was saying
Burn the ships, we're here to stay There's no way we could go back Now that we've come this far by faith Burn the ships, we've passed the point of no return Our life is here So let the ships burn
In the spring of new beginnings a searching heart set sail Looking for a new life and a love that would not fail On the shores of grace and mercy we landed with great joy But an enemy was waiting to steal, kill, and destroy Quietly he whispers, 'Go back to the life you know' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But the one who led us here is saying
Burn the ships, we're here to stay There's no way we could go back Now that we've come this far by faith Burn the ships, we've passed the point of no return Our life is here So let the ships burn
Nobody said it would be easy But the one who brought us here Is never gonna leave us alone
Burn the ships, we're here to stay There's no way we could go back Now that we've come this far by faith Burn the ships, we've passed the point of no return Our life is here So let the ships burn
