Intro
D#m D#m C# G#
D#m F# D#m
Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched
C# G#
And I wonder...
D#m
God where are you?
F# D#m
I'm drowning in the mess I've made
C#
I can't do this on my own
G#
I'm crying out but I still feel alone
F# C# G#
Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own
D#m F#
Wondering if I ever even knew you at all
C# G#
God how can I face them all, they're haunting me;
D#m F#
Violent voices screaming "this ain't who you outta be."
D#m F# D#m
So I asking to come and hold my heart
C# G#
Father hold my heart
D#m
So to continue the metaphor
C# G#
The water's rising quicker than ive еver seen before
D#m
And I look up, see anothеr wave coming
F# C#
It's caught me in its undertow and I know to start swimming away
I'm gonna have to leave behind that which I've clung to
G#
And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
D#m
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
F#
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
C#
This time I promise you that I've found my way
G#
I'm through with this sick carnival and I'm so tired of drifting away
F# C# G#
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
D#m
Now it's time to come home
F# C#
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!
G#
The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
D#m C# F#
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way
A#m
So I take a stroke, but then I'm pulled back down
A#m F# G# A#m
Why do bad things happen to good people?
D#m
No one's good
A#m
No one's good
A#m F# G# A#m
Why do good things happen to bad people?
D#m
Because He loves me
F#
Because He loves me
G# A#m F#
Because He calls me His child, although I have sinned
G# A#m F#
In the midst of the silence, He's moving within
G# F#
Within
C# G#
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
D#m C# F#
Now it's time to come home
C#
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!
G#
The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
D#m C# F#
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down under now I cannot find my way
D#m
So I start to swim to shore but it’s too hard
C# G#
Father it’s too hard
(N.C. For a Beat)
G# F#
And out of the raging sea
C#
I'm lifted by His hand
G#
An angel dragged me to dry land
