Holding back the tide

Just typed this from what I remember - excuse the spelling please

Against the far horizon where the sky meets sea
I stand and watch the waves thrashing mightily
Tearing onto the shoreline
By a force winds swept
I fear they'll sweep me to into the waters depth

But after one wave breaks along will come another
Never daunted by the swift end of the other
Despite their thunderous swell and current prepupal
The shoreline they will never overwhelm

Omer layam ad poh savoh
For the master who rules the sea has willed it so
For despite the rushhing strides,
Hashem alone resides. Yes He is there and He's holding back the tide.

I lift my eyes as ocean storm around me,
When rising waters threaten to surround me.
When I seems they'll overtake me,
He will never let them break me.
For I know He'll say Ad Poh, Ad poh Savoh

No mighty winds or waves or roaring thunder
Can ever be strong enough to pull me under
I can feel the rushing power
But my ideals cannot devour
The Rebono Shel Olam is holding back the tide

Gentle froth they break upon the golden beach
And I'll be safe and sound and far beyond their reach
So firmly protected by a strip of sand
That keeps the angry waves from descending onto land

No No matter how many times the tide advances,
And in the height of a draft we feel so lost and defenseless
While the world awaits our end
That mighty wave descends
To be met by the iron boundary of Hashem

We lift our eyes as ocean storm around us,
When rising waters threaten to surround us.
though it seems they'll overtake us
He will never let them break us
Yes we know He'll say Ad Poh, Ad poh Savoh.

Bechal Dor Vador Omdim Omdim aleinu
Our neshama our guf lechaloseinu
VeHakadosh Baruch Hu matzeleinu
Tomer day letzaroseinu
We still know his words Ad poh ad poh savoh
We still know his words Ad poh ad poh savoh
