David Dunn's song 'Arrow' is a prayer for guidance and clarity in a confusing world. The lyrics express feeling lost and uncertain, but seeking God's direction to realign one's heart. The metaphor of a compass being mended so that the arrow points to Jesus conveys a desire for surrender and trust. The song acknowledges that following Christ is a narrow road but affirms that He is the only way and truth. It's an encouraging anthem for those seeking purpose and direction in their faith journey.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
These days I can't tell which way is up, which way is down
And I feel like the earth is breaking, I can't find solid ground
What do I, what do I stand for?
How do I know where to go Lord?
Everything, everything feels upside down
I'm looking for the answers
To recognize the truth
When all the fractured pieces of this world leave me confused
I need new directions
I need Your point of view
Come and mend the compass of my heart and make it true
So the arrow points to You
So the arrow points to You
So many places and faces telling me where to go
But I've got the map that's leading me down the narrow road
By the way I just got started
By the way I know it gets harder
Keep putting one foot in front of the other
I'm looking for the answers
To recognize the truth
When all the fractured pieces of this world leave me confused
I need new directions
I need Your point of view
Come and mend the compass of my heart and make it true
So the arrow points to You
Jesus You're the only way, the only truth
I am restless until I can rest in You
So take the compass of my heart and make it true
Let it point to You
I'm looking for the answers
To recognize the truth
When all the fractured pieces of this world leave me confused
I need new directions
I need Your point of view
Come and mend the compass of my heart and make it true
So the arrow points to You
So the arrow points to You
So the arrow points to You
So the arrow points to You
So the arrow points to You
