Bm D Bm
Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched
A E
And I wonder...
Bm
God where are you?
D Bm
I'm drowning in the mess I've made
A
I can't do this on my own
E
I'm crying out but I still feel alone
D A E
Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own
Bm D
Wondering if I ever even knew you at all
A E
God how can I face them all, they're haunting me;
Bm D
Violent voices screaming "this ain't who you outta be."
Bm D Bm
So I asking to come and hold my heart
A E
Father hold my heart

So to continue the metaphor
A E
The water's rising quicker than ive еver seen before
Bm
And I look up, see anothеr wave coming
D A
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
E
And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
Bm
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
D
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
A
This time I promise you that I've found my way
E
I'm through with this sick carnival and I'm so tired of drifting away
D A E
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
Bm
Now it's time to come home
D A
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!
E
The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
Bm A D
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way

So I take a stroke, but then I'm pulled back down
F#m D E F#m
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Bm
No one's good
F#m
No one's good
F#m D E F#m
Why do good things happen to bad people?

Because He loves me
D
Because He loves me
E F#m D
Because He calls me His child, although I have sinned

In the midst of the silence, He's moving within

Within

So I start to swim to shore but it’s too hard
A E
Father it’s too hard
(N.C. For a Beat)
E D
And out of the raging sea
A
I'm lifted by His hand
E
An angel dragged me to dry land
