Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched

And I wonder...

I'm drowning in the mess I've made

Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own
Dm F
Wondering if I ever even knew you at all

Violent voices screaming "this ain't who you outta be."

I'm gonna have to leave behind that which I've clung to
G
And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
Dm
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
Dm
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
Dm C F
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way

Why do good things happen to bad people?

Father it’s too hard

And out of the raging sea

I'm lifted by His hand

An angel dragged me to dry land
