It conveys a message of hope and reliance on God's faithfulness, emphasizing that He is always present and will bring movement and progress in due time.

Rollin' out into the deep, way beyond my comfort zone
I can feel my faith taking on waves, what if it all goes wrong?
My heart doesn't have to fear
Cause my star never disappears
A little stuck, but I'm not giving up
There's a breeze moving in
'Cause You are the wind, filling my sails
When I'm getting nowhere fast trying to row myself
Yeah I know, it's all in Your hands
Won't be long before I'm moving again
Cause You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
Destination is never known, but there's freedom in letting go
When I let You lead, there's no need to wrestle against the flow
My heart doesn't have to fear
Cause my star never disappears
A little stuck but I'm not giving up
There's a breeze moving in
'Cause You are the wind, filling my sails
When I'm getting nowhere fast trying to row myself
Yeah I know, it's all in Your hands
Won't be long before I'm moving again
Cause You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
I'm tired of fighting the waves, I'm getting out of Your way
I know You got me if I just let go
There's not a doubt in my mind, You're always right on time
I know You got me if I just let go
I'm tired of fighting the waves, I'm getting out of Your way
Out of Your way, out of Your way
You are the wind, filling my sails
When I'm getting nowhere fast trying to row myself
Yeah I know, it's all in Your hands
Won't be long before I'm moving again
You are the wind, filling my sails
When I'm getting nowhere fast trying to row myself
Yeah I know, it's all in Your hands
Won't be long before I'm moving again
Cause You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
You are the wind (Put my trust in You)
Filling my sails (Put my trust in You)
