Audio Adrenaline Album: Live from Hawaii: The Farewell Concert Track: Ocean Floor
Ocean Floor Lyrics
The mistakes I've made That caused pain I could have done without All my selfish thoughts All my pride The things I hide You have forgot about
They're all behind you They'll never find you They're on the ocean floor Your sins are forgotten They're on the bottom Of the ocean floor
My misdeeds All my greed All the things that haunt me now They're not a pretty sight to see But they're wiped away By a mighty wave A mighty wave, mighty wave
They're all behind you They'll never find you They're on the ocean floor Your sins are forgotten They're on the bottom Of the ocean floor
Take them away To return no more Take them away To the ocean floor
Song Description: 'This was one of Tyler's ideas, and it's probably one of the most talked about songs on the album. It's a beautiful reminder of the faithfulness of God, His grace in our lives and that He forgives our sins. It's the symbolism of burying our sins at the bottom of the ocean - this deep, mysterious, powerful ocean He created. This huge ocean goes on forever, and we can't even comprehend it when we're standing on the edge of it. That's where our sins are, at the very bottom of this deep, huge, powerful sea.' - Mark Stuart (Audio Adrenaline)
'Mark and I wrote the song together, but for me, I wrote the song from the idea of my own sins. I was writing it to myself, and finding comfort in the song. So often we kind of forget that we're forgiven. We forget to accept the gift of forgiveness and we carry this burden around that we don't need to carry. Christians need to hear that God isn't a spiteful God that pushes your sins back in your face. He's the opposite. He swallows your sins to the depths of the ocean. That's a powerful thing for a lot of people and I think that's why that song has touched so many lives." - Tyler Burkum (Audio Adrenaline)
