Forrest Frank's song, featuring Noah Hayden, is a gentle worship piece about resting in God's love and presence. The lyrics use ocean imagery, describing being pulled by God's love like a current and wanting to drift away into a fantasy of closeness with Jesus. The singer expresses trust, acknowledging he doesn't deserve God's goodness but finds comfort in His nearness. There's a plea for God to stay, a desire to deepen belief, and a longing to dance with God under the stars, melting into His arms. The song conveys a peaceful surrender and intimate devotion.

[Noah Hayden:]
Today, today I want to drift off out to sea (Out to sea)
Sail away into a fantasy (Fantasy)
I'm not scared to fall 'cause You are all I need (All I need)
Jesus, You are all I ever need
[Forrest Frank:]
Your love is the current pullin' me in
And though I don't deserve it, You're good to me
You're closer than a bird when I'm in need
I'm baptising the water eternally
Please, stay awhile with me
Please, stay awhile with me (Ah, ah, ah)
(Yeah)
I want to go beyond the outer reef
Lord, would You help me with my own belief?
I want to dance with You under the star
Swayin' back and further as I melt into Your arms
I want to go beyond the outer reef
Lord, would You help me with my own belief?
I want to dance with You under the star
Swayin' back and forth in Your arms
Your love is the current pullin' me in
And though I don't deserve it, You're good to me
You're closer than a bird when I'm in need
I'm baptising the water eternally
Please, stay awhile with me
Please, stay awhile with me
Please, stay awhile with me
Please, stay awhile with me
