Lost in Darkness, hands outstretched
G# D#
And I wonder...

I'm drowning in the mess I've made

I can't do this on my own

Yearning for a distant time when when I was your own
A#m C#
Wondering if I ever even knew you at all
G# D#
God how can I face them all, they're haunting me;

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

The water's rising quicker than ive еver seen before
A#m
And I look up, see anothеr wave coming
C# G#
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
D#
And trust in Him instead of doing what I do
A#m
And I'm so scared cause I've been here before
C#
And I don't think that I could take this back and forth any more
G#
This time I promise you that I've found my way
D#
I'm through with this sick carnival and I'm so tired of drifting away
C# G# D#
It's been way too long since I last felt the warmth of your embrace
A#m
Now it's time to come home
C# G#
Wash me, cleanse me, save me God!

The stains of my sin have soaked my skin
A#m G# C#
I'm screaming for you now I am deep down in the mud I cannot find my way

And out of the raging sea

I'm lifted by His hand

An angel dragged me to dry land
