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