Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched

Wondering if I ever even knew you at all

The water's rising quicker than ive еver seen before

And I look up, see anothеr wave coming

And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
C#m
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
E
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
B
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
E B F#
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
C#m
Now it's time to come home
E B
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!

The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
C#m B E
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
