Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched

And I wonder...

And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
F#m
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
A
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
E
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
A E B
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace

Now it's time to come home
A E
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!

The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
F#m E A
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
