Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched

Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own

Wondering if I ever even knew you at all

And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
Em
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
G
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
D
This time I promise you that I've found my way

I'm through with this sick carnival and I'm so tired of drifting away
G D A
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
Em
Now it's time to come home
G D
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!

The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
Em D G
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way

I'm lifted by His hand

An angel dragged me to dry land
